Özet

This case report presents an iliopsoas hematoma that developed after elective inguinal hernia surgery with the aim of evaluating the diagnosis and treatment process of the patient. A 75-year-old man underwent left inguinal hernia surgery. At the ninth hour after surgery, his blood pressure was 78/48 mmHg and his heartbeat was 135 beats/min. A left iliopsoas hematoma approximately 150 mm wide was seen by computed tomography. Monitoring of vital signs and fluid replacement were begun in the intensive care unit. As the patient's hemoglobin level was 5.8 g/dL, two units of erythrocyte suspension were administered. He was discharged after his hemoglobin level increased to 9.6 g/dL and his vital signs were stable on the seventh postoperative day.
