Bladder hernias.

Six cases of bladder herniation are reported: 4 were associated with inguinal hernias, and 2 were situated in the lower midabdomen. In 1 patient a gangrenous intrascrotal ruptured bladder was found. In most instances simple fascial closure after reduction of the herniation sufficed for treatment. Bladder involvement in any low abdominal wall hernia should be suspected since failure to do so may lead to postoperative complications.
