Diagnosis and Treatment of Giant Inguinoscrotal Bladder Hernia

Abstract

Inguinoscrotal bladder hernia is rarely seen, and diagnosis is often made intraoperatively as urological symptoms are uncommon. In this case report, the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with an inguinoscrotal bladder hernia is presented. A 67-year-old male patient presented with complaints of right inguinal pain and incomplete urine voiding for about two years. Physical examination revealed a giant incarcerated bladder hernia descending into the right inguinal canal and scrotum. Computed tomography showed a right inguinal hernia, including the bladder, accompanied by hydrocele. Open surgery was performed on the patient. The urinary bladder was sent to the intra-abdominal cavity, then the hernia and hydrocele were repaired. The patient was discharged on postoperative day three without complications. In the postoperative follow-up of the patient, his wound had a normal appearance, and he had no urinary symptoms.
