Six cases of bladder herniation are reported: 4 were associated with inguinal hernias, and 2 were situated in the lower midabdomen. In 1 patient a gangrenous intrascrotal ruptured bladder was found. In most instances simple fascial closure after reduction of the herniation sufficed for treatment. Bladder involvement in any low abdominal wall hernia should be suspected since failure to do so may lead to postoperative complications.

Bladder rupture after augmentation enterocystoplasty is a potentially life-threatening condition. We reviewed our experience with 13 patients who presented to our institution with 15 episodes of sudden onset of abdominal pain and rebound tenderness, and were diagnosed on clinical grounds to have peritonitis secondary to a suspected bladder augmentation rupture. (Three patients had had similar episodes treated previously elsewhere with abdominal exploration and repair of an augmentation rupture.) These episodes were initially managed with hospitalization, bladder drainage with an indwelling catheter, intravenous antibiotics and serial abdominal examinations. Cystogram and/or computerized tomography was diagnostic in only 3 of 7 cases in which it was performed. In 13 of 15 instances signs and symptoms of peritonitis quickly resolved, and intermittent catheterization was resumed after a mean of 12 days. In the remaining 2 patients delayed surgical repair of a bladder rupture was done in 1, and exploration and repair of an incarcerated internal hernia were done in 1. Although prompt abdominal exploration is the gold standard for suspected bladder augmentation rupture, treatment of peritonitis as bladder rupture in patients with a bladder augmentation by nonoperative techniques was successful in 87% of episodes.

A case of bladder hernia in a 61 years old patient affected by benign prostatic hypertrophy is presented. Pre-operative diagnosis was made by cystography. After an adenomiomectomy of the prostate, the patient underwent the resection of the herniated bladder which gave the bladder its normal shape with only a slight reduction of its capacity. Inguino-scrotal bladder hernias are very rare; recognized predisponing factors are weakening of muscular and connective structures of the inguinal canal, and bladder hypotonia secondary to urethro-prostatic obstruction. These hernias, according to the anatomical position of the hernial sac, bladder and peritoneum, are classified in paraperitoneal (most frequent), intraperitoneal and extraperitoneal. The typical symptom of this disease is the two-stage micturition: the patient after a first spontaneous voiding, presses the mass and voids again. Other than cystography, useful diagnostic means are urography and cystoscopy which may confirm the diagnosis and rule out associated urinary disease. The treatment consists of either simple reduction of the bladder hernia, if the hernia is small, or resection of the herniated portion of the bladder, if the hernia is large or is associated with other diseases (e.g. tumors). Bladder resection is then followed by closure of the bladder wall in two layers and by inguinal hernia repair.

The authors report a case of bladder hernia associated to prostatic benign hyperplasia. The diagnosis is confirmed by intra-venous urogram and computed tomography imaging. The reintegration of the bladder in the abdomen was performed in association to endoscopic resection of the prostate. Bladder hernia is rare condition. Surgical treatment of bladder hernia is associated to the etiology (prostatic benign hyperplasia...) of the hernia to prevent recurrence.

Bladder hernia is not a rare pathological condition, with a frequency between 0.3% and 3%, reaching the 10% between patients older than 50 years. Massive bladder hernia is less frequent and very rarely ureterohydronephrosis is associated with this pathology, given that the trigone is the only portion remaining fixed after herniation. Five cases have been described in the literature reviewed affecting ureters. The present paper represents the fourth case of bilateral ureterohydronephrosis in the literature. The treatment is surgical correction of the inguinoscrotal hernia.

Bladder hernia is a very uncommon but not exceptional condition. It tends to occur in adult patients over 50, and is favoured by a cervical-urethral obstruction. It is often diagnosed during inguinal hernia surgery, although in other cases pre-operative diagnosis can be achieved through radiological studies (filling cystography), in patients with urinary signs and symptoms associated to inguinal hernia. Treatment involves the association of herniography and deobstructive surgery at the cervical-urethroprostatic level. The use of a polypropylene mesh [correction of stent] to reinforce a damaged abdominal wall is evaluated and it presents an improved result over the traditional techniques. The excellence acceptance by the body should also be taken into account, as no rejection or infection problems were reported the present cases.

Bladder hernia is very uncommon. It tends to affect patients over the age of 50 and is predisposed by cervico-urethral obstruction. The condition is often diagnosed during inguinal hernia surgery. The authors report a case of massive inguino-scrotal bladder herniation. The different types of bladder hernia are described, and the clinical-radiological findings and surgical management are discussed.

Bladder hernia is an uncommon condition with a frequency between 0.5 and 3%, reaching the 10% between patients older than 50 years. It's more predominant in males aged between 50 and 70. The diagnosis usually happens in the course of surgical repair of inguinal hernias, because the bladder hernia has no specific clinical findings. Management includes the resection or reduction of the bladder hernia, with de-obstruction of the lower urinary tract, if present, and repairmen of inguinal path. We report a new case and review the literature.

We present a case of a urothelial neoplasm arising within a direct bladder hernia in the inguinal canal. Bladder hernias are rarely found preoperatively and are exceptional sites of neoplasm. Spiral computed tomography with gaseous insufflation of the bladder demonstrated the bladder hernia and the extension of the neoplasm in the inguinal canal more accurately than other computed tomographic techniques with nonopacified and iodinated urine.

Bladder hernia is present in an important number of cases of inguinal hernias. Massive inguinoscrotal bladder hernias are rarer. The association of massive bladder hernia and bilateral ureterohydronephrosis is not often found. According to our knowledge, there have been only seven cases documented in the last ten years. Therefore, we will present a case of renal failure secondary to inguinoscrotal bladder hernia with bilateral obstructive uropathy. Once we have analyzed a clinical case, we will give the diagnosis and treatment for those hernias.
