| Popis: | Although the urinary bladder is involved in 1-4% of all inguinal hernias, extensive inguinoscrotal herniation of the bladder, termed scrotal cystocele, is very rare. Most small asymptomatic bladder hernias are commonly encountered and reduced successfully via the same incision during elective inguinal hernia repair. However, larger bladder herniations can be associated with bladder infarction or obstruction, which require urgent intervention to preserve renal function and reduce morbidity and mortality. We present two cases of elderly men presenting with significant scrotal cystocele complications which necessitated urgent surgical intervention. We compare and contrast the two cases and discuss the presentation, investigation, diagnosis and treatment of these pathophysiological conditions. |
