ABSTRACT
Inguinal hernias involving the bladder are exceedingly rare and pose a diagnostic challenge. Identifying bladder involvement within an inguinal hernia is imperative to avoid iatrogenic bladder injuries and subsequent complications. Here we discuss a case of inguinal bladder herniation and bladder visualization using methylene blue dye intraoperatively. We present a case of a 45-year-old male who presented with a six-hour history of dysuria and a painful non-reducible right-sided groin mass that had previously been reducible for 17 years. Computed tomography demonstrated an irreducible indirect inguinal hernia-containing bladder. Open Lichtenstein repair was performed, and intraoperative methylene blue-dyed saline successfully identified the herniated bladder, preventing iatrogenic bladder injury. This case report demonstrates the importance of preoperative imaging and intraoperative visualization for the prevention of complications in a rare occurrence of a strangulated indirect inguinal hernia-containing bladder.
