Abstract
Inguinal bladder hernia is a relatively rare, predominantly male condition. The diagnosis is often made by inguinal swelling in a patient over the age of 50 with inguinal swelling associated with disorders of the lower urinary tract in men (LUTS). The diagnosis is confirmed using several medical imaging modalities (UCR, ultrasound, Uro-CT). We report the cases of 3 patients in whom an inguinal hernia of the bladder was suggested on the basis of a clinical suspicion and confirmed by performing a uroscanner. Two patients underwent surgical reduction of the hernia and in one of the patients a prostatic adenomectomy was also done. There were no associated post-operative complications.
