Abstract

Background: Inguinal hernia is one of the most common causes of surgeries around the world; however, the herniation of the urinary bladder as a recurrence in this region is rare. It can have urinary symptoms with pain and protrusion in the inguinoscrotal region. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 65-year-old Iranian male patient who presented with obstructive urinary symptoms and a reducible protrusion in the right inguinoscrotal region. The patient underwent a successful repairment operation in a laparoscopic manner without any intra- or postoperative complications. Also, here, we review the risk factors, symptoms, and paraclinics that should be noted regarding the inguinal hernia with visceral organ protrusion. Conclusion: Clinicians must be aware of different symptoms of herniated organs in the inguinal region to avoid unwanted complications. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
