Internal Supravesical Hernia with Concomitant Inguinal Hernia—A Case Report—

Abstract

A 62-year-old man presented with a left inguinal swelling. Blood tests did not show any significant findings. Computed tomography revealed a suspected left internal inguinal hernia without evidence of intussusception or bowel obstruction, and findings characteristic of internal supravesical hernia were not evident. Preoperatively, we suspected internal inguinal hernia ; however, intraoperatively, we detected internal supravesical hernia, as well as an internal and external inguinal hernia, and we therefore used a transabdominal preperitoneal approach for hernia repair. The patient's postoperative course was unremarkable. In this study, we report a rare case of internal supravesical hernia concomitant with an internal and external inguinal hernia, together with a literature review.
