Richter's hernia may be defined as an abdominal hernia in which only part of the circumference of the bowel wall is entrapped and strangulated in the hernial orifice. It occurs at various positions with femoral ring being the most common. As the bowel continuity is maintained, the patients usually do not have intestinal obstruction. The spontaneous enterocutaneous fistula is a rare complication of inguinal Richter's hernia. We report a case of a 75 year old female patient with enterocutaneous fistula which occurred spontaneously in the right inguinal region. Abdominal computed tomography scan confirmed the diagnosis of enterocutaneous fistula. We performed a right celiotomy with resection and primary anastomosis of the fistulous bowel. Patient recovered uneventfully without any complications or recurrence.

This is when a diverticulum or a part of the bladder wall is incarcerated within the hernia. This affection is often asymptomatic. The diagnosis is made per-or post-operatively following complications. We report 2 cases of inguinal hernia involving the bladder in which the first case was diagnosed preoperatively whereas the second was diagnosed intraoperatively. ÖzFıtık cerrahisi viseral cerrahide en sık görülenidir. Mesane nadiren kasık fıtığı ile ilişkilidir. Bu, divertikülün veya mesane duvarının bir bölümünün fıtık içinde hapsedilmesidir. Bu durum genellikle asemptomatiktir. Tanı komplikasyonları takiben ameliyat sonrası veya sonrasında yapılır. Bu çalışmada iki kasık mesane fıtığı olgusunu sunuyoruz, mesane ilişkisi birinci vakada preoperatif tanı ile, ikinci vakada intraoperatif olarak teşhis edildi.
