Inguinal Bladder and Ureter Hernia <i>Permagna</i>: Definition of a Rare Clinical Entity and Case Report

Abstract

Ureteral involvement should be suspected when a clinical inguinal hernia is diagnosed concurrently with unexplained hydronephrosis, renal failure, or urinary tract infection, as in the case described. When suspected, the preoperative diagnosis, particularly with CT scan, is essential to avoid complications and to reduce risk of bladder and ureter injuries during hernia repair.
