Abstract

Inguinal bladder hernias are a rare condition, representing only 0.5-3% of inguinal hernia. The vast majority of the cases are diagnosed inadvertently intraoperatively. We report the case of a 71-year-old patient with a history of right inguinal hernia who showed symptoms of incarcerated inguinal hernia, but diagnosed with a strangulated bladder hernia intraoperatively. This case presents an interesting development of a bladder hernia that required two surgical procedures with partial resection due to late necrosis. Keywords: acute abdomen, bladder hernia, bladder necrosis, inguinal hernia
