Abstract

It is generally accepted that 1-3% of all inguinal hernias involve the bladder. However herniation of the bladder deep into the scrotum is rare. We report a case of massive bladder hernia of paraperitoneal type in a 58-year-old male with scrotal pain and palpable scrotal mass. Treatment consisted of partial cystectomy and herniorrhaphy. The postoperative result was good without complications.
