Abstract

Inguinal bladder hernia (IBH) is a rare condition: the urinary bladder is involved in no more than 5 % of all groin hernias. This variety of sliding hernia is usually asymptomatic and occurs in men aged over 50 years and can incidentally be encountered during hernia repair. Herein we report a case of a large symptomatic IBH, containing almost whole urinary bladder and successfully treated via open hernia repair using a technique described by Celdran. This entity of hernia should be suspected when inguinoscrotal hernia is associated with urinary symptoms. We emphasize the importance of the preoperative diagnosis in order to reduce inadvertent lesions of the bladder or ureters during hernia surgery.
