Abstract
Objectives: We report the first case of a huge bladder hernia associated with obstructive uropathy in Libya.
Methods: We report the case of a 70 year old male patient who presented with interrupted voiding with a need for scrotal compression to complete voiding. Physical examination showed a left inguino scrotal hernia. A CT urogram confirmed the diagnosis of bladder hernia with a crossing artery anterior to the neck of the hernial sac. Inguinal hernioplasty with bladder hernia reduction was indicated and performed. Results: Morphologically and functionally satisfactory results were obtained after the surgery. No further clinical signs and symptoms occured. Conclusions: Bladder hernia is a rare condition and should be sought prior to hernioplasty.
Keywords: Bladder hernia, Urogram, Obstructive uropathy, Inguinal hernia
