Abstract
Urinary bladder injury is usually rare and asymptomatic, and can occur during herniorrhaphy for misdiagnosed sliding hernia. It’s necessary to recognize a iatrogenic injury intra operatively, and institute treatment in the same operative session, Preoperative diagnosis can prevent possible to the bladder and ureter surgery and lead to quick recovery. The radiological examination is needed before any surgery, especially when the patient has concomitant urinary symptoms. If bladder hernia is suspected, we should imperatively perform preoperative radiology including ultrasound cystography, CT scan or MRI. Keeping a bladder catheter in situ can alert the surgeon in the event of bladder surgery.
