ABSTRACT
@#A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot in surrounding muscle or connective tissue, called fascia. Hernia is classified as inguinal, incisional, femoral, umbilical, or hiatal. The bladder may herniate in 1%–3% of the cases through the inguinal canal. A herniated bladder with calculus is a more unique condition that has only 3 reported cases. Reported here is a case of a 65-year-old male with a known case of left bladder inguinal hernia. He presented with an inguinoscrotal bulge at the left groin and severe lower urinary tract symptoms, associated with a need to squeeze his scrotum to complete his voiding. A Computed Tomography scan revealed inguinoscrotal bladder hernia, left with urinary bladder calculi, and an enlarged prostate gland. The patient underwent cystoscopy, inguinal exploration left, cystolithotomy, hernioplasty left. Inguinoscrotal hernia of the bladder is a rare pathology and often goes unrecognized in during surgical hernia repair. Preoperative identification of bladder hernia is essential to prevent iatrogenic trauma and severe complications. It is mandatory for general surgeons and urologists to keep in mind this rare condition during surgical repair of inguinal hernia.
