Massive inguinal scrotal bladder hernias: a review of the literature with 2 new cases.
The bladder frequently is a component of inguinal hernias. However, massive bladder hernias into the scrotum are rare, with 73 cases having been reported previously in the literature. We report 2 additional successfully treated cases. From our experience, we believe that simple reduction of the hernia followed by inguinal herniorrhaphy is the treatment of choice.
