- Surgical Diagnosis
Background
- Inguinal bladder hernia is a rare condition.
- It is frequently underdiagnosed due to non-specific symptoms.
- Diagnosis is often delayed until intraoperative findings.
Purpose Of The Study
- To report a case of inguinal bladder hernia.
- To emphasize the diagnostic challenges.
- To highlight the importance of preoperative assessment.
Main Methods
- Case report of a 54-year-old male with inguinoscrotal swelling.
- Preoperative ultrasonography was performed.
- Diagnosis confirmed intraoperatively.
