Abstract

Hernia surgery is the most frequent in visceral surgery. The bladder is rarely involved in groin hernia. This is when a diverticulum or a part of the bladder wall is incarcerated within the hernia. This affection is often asymptomatic. The diagnosis is made per-or post-operatively following complications. We report 2 cases of inguinal hernia involving the bladder in which the first case was diagnosed preoperatively whereas the second was diagnosed intraoperatively.
