A Rare Case Of Inguinal Bladder Hernia In A Child

Indirect inguinal hernia requiring surgical treatment is common in children and most patients recover uneventfully. However, rare complications, such as bladder damage, have been reported. Here, we report a rare case of pediatric bladder hernia presenting as an incarcerated inguinal hernia. In the laparo-scopic inspection of this case, we were unable to identify patent processus vaginalis but found the bladder protrusion during an inguinal incision approach. Similar cases carry a risk of intraoperative bladder injury.
