Complete scrotal urinary bladder hernia with both ureters and small intestine presenting as dysuria, bilateral
Abstract:
We report a case of a complete scrotal bladder hernia with both ureters presenting as dysuria, bilateral ureterohydronephrosis, and acute renal insufficiency. A 37-year-old man with a recurrent large scrotal mass after two surgeries, suffering with small urinary symptoms as a dysuria and nocturia, was examined before the third surgery on an outpatient basis. Urological examination revealed a negative urine, bilateral large ureterohydronephrosis on USG, and serum creatinine 231-250 µmol/l. CT displayed the urinary bladder completely herniated into the scrotum with distal parts of both ureters and small intestine, and bilateral large ureterohydronephrosis. After admission to urological department on retrograde cystography a completely herniation of the urinary bladder with residual urine more than 250 ml was confirmed. A permanent catheter was indwelled. The hernia was explored with urinary bladder repositioning. Because bilateral ureteral obstruction on USG did not retreat, a bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy was done. The patient's serum creatinine markedly improved, also hernia and ureterohydronephrosis was repaired with normally moisten without residual urine (Fig. 2, Ref. 26).
