ABSTRACT
Sciatic hernias are unusual, challenging to diagnose, and can present some treatment dilemmas. Sciatic hernias containing the ureter are even less common. Symptoms are variable from renal fossa pain, mild or severe pelvic pain, neuropathic pain, or dysesthesias. Although stenting alone can be a treatment option for this condition, in cases where symptoms or ureteral obstruction relapse after initial treatment, sciatic hernioplasty must be considered as the definitive treatment. This article presents the case of a female patient who presented with a history of nonspecific abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a right-sided ureterosciatic hernia. This was managed with a ureteral stent for reduction of herniated ureteral content, but after recurrence, laparoscopic sciatic hernioplasty was performed. The patient was pain-free and without obstructive uropathy at the one-year follow-up.
