Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...
Hiatal Hernia01:25

Hiatal Hernia

A hiatal hernia is the abnormal protrusion of the stomach or other abdominal organs through the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm into the thoracic cavity.Normally, the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) lies below the diaphragm and is supported by the phrenoesophageal membrane, the diaphragmatic crura, and connective tissues. Weakening of these structures—due to aging, congenital defects like a short esophagus, or increased intra-abdominal pressure from coughing, obesity, pregnancy, or heavy...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Case Reports

Background:

  • Inguinoscrotal hernias are common, but bladder involvement is exceptionally rare.
  • Urinary bladder herniation presents unique diagnostic and management challenges.

Observation:

  • A 64-year-old male presented with a large inguinoscrotal hernia and urinary frequency (pollakisuria).
  • Imaging and clinical examination revealed the urinary bladder incarcerated within the hernia sac.

Findings:

  • Surgical repair included intra-abdominal repositioning of the bladder and partial fundectomy via laparotomy.
  • The inguinal defect was subsequently closed using an open inguinal approach.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering bladder herniation in inguinoscrotal hernias, especially with urinary symptoms.
  • Successful surgical management can be achieved with a combined abdominal and inguinal approach.
