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.

In patients with clinical findings suspicious for an inguinal hernia in combination with obstructive or neurogenic bladder dysfunction, herniation of bladder diverticula should be taken into consideration. This differential diagnosis is demonstrated by two case reports. In the patient with the hernia caused by obstructive micturition, we performed transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) prior to resection of the diverticulum. Spontaneous micturition was possible after surgery. In the patient with the neurogenic bladder, we did the hernia repair and resection of the diverticulum primarily.

Myelomeningocele (MMC) is a type of open neural tube defect characterized by exposure of the spinal cord through a defect in the skin and posterior hindbrain herniation through the foramen magnum. Outcomes vary but common morbidities include paraplegia, hydrocephalus, neurogenic bladder, scoliosis, and tethered cord. Fetal surgery, although not a cure, has been shown to decrease the risk of associated morbidity.A study of a neonate born at 39 5/7 weeks gestation status-post in utero fetoscopic MMC repair at 24 weeks gestation was presented in this study along with a concise review of the literature. Fasciocutaneous advancement flaps were made in utero to facilitate a tension-free midline closure and were left to heal secondarily. The neonate underwent uncomplicated spontaneous vaginal delivery but was noted to have a right flank hernia through the relaxing incision in addition to delayed healing of the left relaxing incision. According to authors, iatrogenic flank hernia following fetoscopic MMC repair has not been previously reported in the literature. Both defects were repaired primarily in layers with undermining and retroperitoneal domain was reestablished with imbrication of the overlying muscle on the right side. The authors report their experience to contribute to the scarce literature describing postnatal complications arising from this novel procedure.
