An incarcerated colonoscope in an inguinal hernia is an extremely uncommon endoscopy complication. When it occurs, a left-sided inguinal hernia is often involved, and several methods of managing this complication have been documented in the literature. We are presenting a 55-year-old patient whose colonoscopy was complicated by the colonoscope getting trapped in a left inguinal hernia. This uncommon problem is more likely to happen during withdrawal, which makes our case special as the colonoscope was incarcerated during the insertion phase.
