Case report reveals bladder necrosis due to inguinal hernia, indicating challenges in diagnosis and treatment.
Inguinal bladder hernias are a rare condition, representing only 0.5-3% of inguinal hernia. The vast majority of the cases are diagnosed inadvertently intraoperatively. We report the case of a 71-year-old patient with a history of right inguinal hernia who showed symptoms of incarcerated inguinal hernia, but diagnosed with a strangulated bladder hernia intraoperatively. This case presents an interesting development of a bladder hernia that required two surgical procedures with partial resection due to late necrosis.
