We present a challenging case of a loss of domain (LOD) inguinoscrotal hernia in a 77-year-old high-risk patient, successfully managed with the complementary preoperative use of progressive pneumoperitoneum (PPP) and botulinum toxin A (BTA) without complications. Giant inguinoscrotal and LOD hernias, particularly in multimorbid patients, are highly complex and require meticulous preoperative preparation. In this case, PPP was performed with ambient air and a gradual increase in insufflation volume, while BTA was injected at three points on each side, with a total dose of 300 IU.
