Description
Summary:Inguinal hernia is a common disorder that requires urgent and adequate surgical management. Multiple organs may be associated with inguinal hernias, but bladder involvement is rarely seen. The diagnosis is frequently done during surgery. It can be evoked before surgery when the patient presents with irritative and obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms. Retrograde urethrocystography or intravenous urography confirms the diagnosis. We report a case of inguinal hernia involving the bladder at the right side with a 72-year-old man. We performed a hernia repair after reintegration of the bladder.
