Inguinal hernia with complete urinary bladder herniation: a case report and review of the literature

Vasiliki Papatheofani et al. J Surg Case Rep. .

Abstract

Although inguinal hernias are common, inguinal herniation of the urinary bladder wall is rare. Moreover, the complete migration of the urinary bladder into the scrotum is considered less frequent. The majority of patients with bladder hernias are asymptomatic and diagnosis is made intraoperatively; however, difficulties in urination may lead to the correct diagnosis. We report about a case of a large right-sided scrotal hernia with complete bladder herniation presenting without urological symptoms.

Keywords: bladder herniation; case report; inguinal hernia.
