Scrotal bladder hernia: report of two cases

Abstract

Two new cases of scrotal bladder hernia (SBH) are presented. The first patient developed leakage of urine from the wound after "hydrocele" surgery. Revision of the wound showed a defect in the bladder wall. The bladder was separated from hernias sutures and closed in two layers. In the second, obese patient with a right scrotal swelling and two-stage voiding SBH was recognized preoperatively. The peritoneal sac and bladder wall were separately sutured and herniotomy was performed. The history, clinical features, pathology and treatment of SBH are summarized. The literature is briefly reviewed.

Laparoscopic repair of massive inguinal hernia containing the urinary bladder

“…The first case was reported by Felix Platter in 1550 and there have subsequently been a number of published case series. [4] Most bladder hernias occur through the inguinal and femoral canals. These locations account for 75% and 23% of bladder containing hernias, respectively.…”

“…The majority is extraperitoneal with the other types occurring infrequently. [47] A variety of etiologies have been described including ageing, obesity, urinary outlet obstruction, and loss of bladder tone with weakness of the supporting structures. [14]…”

Inguinoscrotal hernias involving urologic organs: A case series

“…4 However, it is reported that as many as 4% of inguinal hernias involve the bladder. 5 Case 1 was an atypical presentation.…”

Bladder incarceration with perforation in scrotal herniation: A case report

“…Some patients complain of double voiding. The diagnosis is confirmed with cystography; 3 however, a computer tomography (CT) with contrast of the urinary tract can be done. We report the case of right scrotal bladder hernia with perforation and sever sepsis.…”
