Laparo-endoscopic technique of management of a rare case of incarcerated urinary bladder hernia in a female

Abstract

Inguinoscrotal hernia containing the urinary bladder is a rare entity, found in 1%-5% of inguinal hernias. We herein present a rare case of a 60-year-old female status post open hysterectomy who presented to emergency department with painful groin swelling and contrast enhanced computerized tomography of abdomen showed features of incarcerated urinary bladder hernia. She underwent emergency laparo-endoscopic bilateral inguinal hernia mesh repair. After extensive literature search, we believe that this is the first case report of incarcerated urinary bladder hernia in a female with infra-umbilical scar who underwent emergency laparo-endoscopic bilateral inguinal hernia mesh repair.
