ABSTRACT
A 53-year-old man underwent a living donor kidney transplantation in the right iliac fossa 25 years prior to presentation. He had been noting an inguinal bugle that became more prominent as the day progressed, and it regressed at night. Upon further investigations, an ultrasound of the allograft revealed moderate-to-severe hydronephrosis. A computed tomography scan revealed herniation of the bladder and part of the transplanted ureter within the supravesical/direct inguinal space. Lichtenstein-like fashion of repair was performed, and the patient continues to enjoy satisfactory graft function with no recurrence. The case illustrates a rare hernia as a late complication of the kidney transplant incision leading to ureteric obstruction and a successful attempt at operative repair.
