ABSTRACT
Massive inguinoscrotal hernias containing the bladder are rare but can present with significant complications such as obstructive uropathy and urinary sepsis. A comorbid 71-year-old gentleman presented with an enlarging inguinoscrotal mass and an acute kidney injury (AKI). Imaging revealed a large inguinoscrotal hernia containing the bladder, and bilateral hydronephrosis. Renal function improved on urethral catheterization. Admitted under general surgery originally, the patient declined any surgical intervention and had his catheter removed as an outpatient, without urological follow up. He represented 6 months later with urinary sepsis and a new AKI. Repeat imaging revealed a progression of the bilateral hydronephrosis. Subsequently admitted under urology, bilateral nephrostomies as well as a catheter were inserted. Once stable, he was discharged with both as part of his long-term management. Non-operative management of this condition may occasionally be necessary, and so requires effective multidisciplinary decision making. Real-world organizational and geographical factors contributed to the challenges in this case.
