Abstract:
Bladder diverticula may be involved in inguinal hernias usually in the form of a sliding hernia. We studied three patients with scrotal herniation of bladder diverticulum, one of them having a neurogenic bladder. All our patients have had the diagnosis before undergoing hernia repair--so iatrogenic lesions of the bladder during surgical manipulations could be avoided. Methods for an early diagnosis of this rare occurrence are discussed along with aspects of surgical approach.
