title: Internal and external supravesical hernia.
abstract: Two cases of supravesical hernia are described. One was a rare posterior internal supravesical hernia discovered only at exploratory laparotomy after exhaustive but fruitless diagnostic procedures. The surgical  anatomy of anterior and posterior internal supravesical hernia is discussed and a simplified terminology is proposed.
