The presence of inguinal hernia may be associated with extrinsic defects upon the bladder and ureter in the absence of actual herniation of the urinary structures. The findings are characteristic unless associated with irregularity of the bladder wall or elevation of the bladder floor by prostatic enlargement. In some cases, the possibility of intrinsic bladder pathology is raised, requiring retrograde study for clarification. Ureteral displacements may be either ipsilateral or contralateral, depending upon the segment of bowel involved and the side of the hernia. The bladder findings are best demonstrated when the patient is prone or upright.

Four cases of herniation of the ureter are presented. A discussion of the various types of ureteral hernia is based on the roentgenographic features of each type as well as the anatomical considerations responsible for these radiographic signs. The use of erect and oblique projections in patients with hernias undergoing urography is urged. The sign of the curlicue ureter is felt to be pathognomonic for ureteral hernia.

Close phenotypic similarity between two cases carrying a rec(3) dup q,inv(3) (p25q21), 12 additional infants from the same inv (3)(p25q21) kindred who lived less than 1 year, and eight cases studied in other medical centers has led us to postulate the existence of a distinct chromosome 3 duplication-deletion syndrome. In the presence of trisomy for (3)q21 leads to qter and monosomy for (3)p25 leads to pter, the facial dysmorphy is unique: a distorted head shape due to irregular cranial sutures, thick low eyebrows, long eyelashes, persistent lanugo, distended veins on the scalp, hypertelorism, oblique palpebral fissures, a very short nose with a broad depressed bridge and anteverted nares, protruding maxilla, thin upper lip, micrognathia, low-set ears, and a short webbed neck. Port-wine stains, congenital glaucoma, cloudy corneas, cleft palate and harelip also occur frequently. Each infant has difficulty sucking and swallowing. Congenital anomalies of the cardiovascular system, of midgut rotation, and of the urogenital system are noted for the infants who died neonatally. Most frequent is a ventricular septal defect, followed by atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, patent foramen ovale, and coarctation of the aorta. Omphalocele, umbilical hernia, hyperplastic kidneys, polycystic kidneys, double ureter, hydro-ureter, hydronephrosis, and undescended testes often occur. The extremities are short in proportion to the length of the trunk. Clinodactyly, coxa valga, talipes, and spina bifida are frequently observed.

The radiologic features of ureteral and bladder hernias are poorly known. These hernias can be located in 5 compartments, being extremely rare in 2 of them--the chest and lumbar sectors, where only 2 cases are reported in literature. In the other 3 compartments--i.e., ischiatic, crural and inguinal sectors--bladder and ureteral hernias are less uncommon findings. Over a relatively short period of time, 5 bladder hernias were observed--3 ischiatic, 1 inguino-scrotal and 1 crural cases--and 1 double ureteral hernia, which was inguinal on the right-hand side and ischiatic on the left-hand side. Thus, we reviewed the main urographic and cystographic signs on the basis of a previous report by one of us. In discussing the new cases, we emphasize the importance of a few typical diagnostic signs, which follow: asymmetry and anomalous location of herniated organs, ureter protrusion beyond the pelvic bones outline, the presence of ureteral spiral ("curlicue sign"), and bladder walls indentation.

Ureterocele is a congenital urinary abnormality characterized by the presence of an intrabladder hernia or cystic ballooning of the lower end of an ureter lying between the mucosa and muscle of the bladder. The abnormality leads to urinary retention and recurrent urinary tract infection which can cause irreversible damage to the kidney. It can become very large and is the most common cause of bladder outlet obstructions in infant girls. It may be associated with serious urologic abnormalities in either sex. This abnormality can be suspected in the fetus by ante-natal echography and confirmed by other X-ray investigations after birth.

To our knowledge only 18 cases of ureteral herniation into the groin have been reported in the literature. We encountered a patient with crossed renal ectopia and ureteral incarceration into a right indirect inguinal hernia. Based on analysis of the presentation and management of our patient combined with a review of the literature we conclude that patients with urinary symptoms and a groin hernia should undergo preoperative urological evaluation, all hernias containing a ureter should be repaired and ureteral resection rarely is necessary during the hernia repair.

The authors report the documented observation of a 59 year old woman admitted to hospital for recent pains in the left flank caused by acute hydronephrosis. Surgical exploration revealed a surprising loss of continuity in the ureter resulting from an ischemic occlusion of the upper ureter. The occlusion was in turn due to compression from a hernia of the renal hilum. The authors conclude with a brief physiopathologic study.

A case is reported of contralateral displacement of the kidney and ureter due to a left flank incisional hernia following a simple nephrectomy for a staghorn calculus in a massively obese female. Two previously reported cases of pseudocrossed renal ectopia due to renal displacement from incisional hernias in obese females are reviewed.

Large sliding inguinal hernias may contain a variety of either intraperitoneal or retroperitoneal anatomical structures. A ureter within a sliding inguinal hernia has been reported rarely. The author presents such a case to alert the unwary surgeon of this possibility and to indicate a successful method of treatment. Pyelography is indicated as a routine preoperative diagnostic procedure in morbidly obese patients with large irreducible inguinal hernias, particularly if the patient complains of frequency or other urinary symptoms. The ureter should be carefully dissected with its blood supply from the sliding tissues and laid back in the retroperitoneal space with resection or reimplantation. The hernia may then be repaired by standard methods. The patient described in the report is well and free of symptoms 10 years after the operation.

The authors report a new case (to be added to the 10 already published in the literature) of damage to the ureter during surgical treatment of a herniated disc. Instruments seeking the hernia perforate the prevertebral ligament and damage the ureter. The diagnosis should have been made rapidly in the light of a difficult postoperative course, the discovery of a pre and laterovertebral effusion by echography and the presence of haematuria and pyuria. In fact the diagnosis was made late, by urography, in the presence of a mass in the flank. Attempted treatment by insertion of a uretic catheter failed and the situation was finally resolved by a second end-to-end ureterorrhaphy after mobilisation of the kidney. The possibility of damage to the ureter during surgery for a disc hernia and the therapeutic possibilities with preservation of the kidney when the diagnosis is made sufficiently early should be familiar to all: neurosurgeon, orthopaedic surgeon and urologist.
