    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Anatomy

    Background:

    • Sliding inguinal hernias can contain various intra- or retroperitoneal structures.
    • A ureter is an uncommon anatomical structure found within a sliding inguinal hernia.

    Observation:

    • This report details a rare case of a ureter identified within a sliding inguinal hernia.
    • The ureter was successfully dissected from the hernia sac and repositioned in the retroperitoneal space.

    Findings:

    • Pyelography is recommended as a routine preoperative diagnostic tool for morbidly obese patients with large, irreducible inguinal hernias, especially those with urinary complaints.
    • Careful dissection of the ureter and its blood supply is crucial for successful management.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering ureteral involvement in sliding inguinal hernias.
