Introduction
Bladder, despite approaching to inguinal region, rarely drops into
inguinal canal causing bladder herniation. Bladder herniation only
accounted for 1-3% of all inguinal herniation1, while
the incidence may reach up to 10% among obese patient over 50 years
old2. Most of the cases are generally asymptomatic,
while the advanced cases must complete two-stage urination by
compressing scrotal-bladder manually3. As most of the
hernia are diagnosed by physical examination without advance radiology
exam prior to operation, only 7% of inguinal bladder hernia is
diagnosed before the herniorraphy. Therefore, 16% of these condition
are found by intraoperative or postoperative complication such as
bladder injury and bladder leakage4. In this
manuscript, we reported a bladder herniation diagnosed prior to
operation and repaired by laparoscopic extraperitoneal approach (TEP)
herniarraphy.
