Inguinal bladder hernia, a rare cause of inguinal herniation: Report of two cases

Abstract

Hernia surgery is the most frequent in visceral surgery. The bladder is rarely involved in groin hernia. 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.

Nadir bir inguinal herniasyon nedeni olan inguinal mesane fıtığı: İki olgu sunumu

Öz

Fıtık 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.
