KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE Herniorrhaphy is a common surgery worldwide. Common complications include hemorrhage, infection, chronic pain, and recurrence. Ureteric injury from herniorrhaphy is unusual. We present a case of ureteric injury complicating an inguinal herniorrhaphy for a huge right inguino-scrotal hernia. Patient had primary uretero-neocystostomy but died from septicemia in the postoperati...

Inguinal bladder hernia is a rare condition usually diagnosed per-operatively. Patients may present with inguinal swelling, dysuria, hematuria,or urinary urgency. Obesity, advancing age and poor musculature are risk factors. We hereby case of in 47-year-old obese male presented to outpatient department history inguino-scrotal, partially reducible lower tract symptoms, off on haematuria dysuria....

Amyand's hernia is a rare clinical entity in which the vermiform appendix is present within the inguinal hernia sac. Here, we report a 5-day-old neonate with dysmorphic features referred to us with a tender irreducible right inguino-scrotal swelling. Surgical exploration showed gangrenous appendix with a peri-appendicular abscess in the inguinal hernia sac. Appendectomy and right herniotomy was...

Herniation of the urinary bladder into the scrotum is a highly uncommon observation. It constitutes 1–3% of all inguinal hernias 1,2 . Such hernias are termed as scrotal cystocele may be asymptomatic or may present with voiding problems such as painful voiding or double stroke voiding, or manipulated voiding, inguinal or scrotal swelling and dysuria. Emptying of a scrotal cystocele with voiding...

BACKGROUND An acute scrotum concerns endoscrotal organs (testicles, spermatic cord, tunica vaginalis) and is characterized by pain, swelling and hyperemia of the hemi-scrotum. It represents one of the most common surgical emergencies in children often caused by testicular torsion; the diagnosis is mostly clinical but must be supported by ultrasonographic examination of the scrotal region in ass...

Any portion of the bladder may herniate, from a small portion or a diverticulum to most of the bladder. We present a 55-year-old male with an intermittent right scrotal mass of 6 months’ duration. The mass lesion protruded through the right inguinal canal before voiding and reduced aft...

First described by Dupuytren in 1834 and defined by Bickle in 1919, the condition is rarely seen. Surgical management usually involves excision of the sac as the definitive t...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Preoperative imaging techniques may guide management of nonpalpable, cryptorchid testicles. We evaluated conventional MRI for identifying and locating nonpalpable testicles in prepubescent boys via meta-analysis. METHODS: Databases including Medline were searched from 1980 to February 2012. Eligible studies included $10 boys with cryptorchidism/ suspected cryptorchidis...
