Abstract

Two new cases of scrotal bladder hernia (SBH) are presented. The first patient developed leakage of urine from the wound after “hydrocele” surgery. Revision of the wound showed a defect in the bladder wall. The bladder was separated from hernias sutures and closed in two layers. In the second, obese patient with a right scrotal swelling and two-stage voiding SBH was recognized preoperativly. The peritoneal sac and bladder wall were separately sutured and herniotomy was performed. The history, clinical features, pathology and treatment of SBH are summarized. The literature is briefly reviewed.
