Incisional bladder hernia with temporary bowel incarceration: report of a case

Abdominal hernias are not rare in women, but incisional bladder hernias are rare. The incisional hernia is a condition caused by protrusion of the abdominal viscera through the abdominal fascia. The presenting symptoms in the cases reported included suprapubic discomfort, irritative voiding symptoms, and urinary incontinence. We present a case of bladder herniation with temporary bowel incarceration through a lower midline incision, which followed operative intervention. The temporary bowel herniation was managed conservatively because the impairment of the blood supply was not severe.
