[Vesico-scrotal hernia. Report of a clinical case].
Incidental discovery of vesical hernias during herniorrhaphy is quite common. In such cases, patients are usually asymptomatic since the hernia portion is small and easily repairable. On the other hand, vesical solid protrusion to the scrotum is quite unusual, and is generally found associated to obstructive urinary symptoms. Management involves basically the correction of any associated obstructive conditions, correction of the vesical hernia and herniorrhaphy.
