Abstract

The incidence of urinary bladder hernia accompanying inguinal hernias is 1-4%. Herniation of the urinary bladder into the inguinal canal and scrotum can cause urinary retention and hydronephrosis, bladder necrosis, and renal dysfunction. This study presents a case that underwent emergency surgery for an incarcerated inguinal hernia. The hernia sac included the urinary bladder in addition to bowel segments. An attempt to save the ischemic bladder wall during partial bowel resection failed, and the patient developed a vesicocutaneous fistula. The fistula was repaired, and the ischemic bladder wall was resected. During the repair of an inguinal hernia, general surgeons and urologists must be aware of this rare condition and work together in terms of patient management. Although the bladder-sparing approach can be performed in cases without signs of severe bladder ischemia, patients should be followed closely for complications related to ischemia.
