Abstract

We report 2 cases of inguinoscrotal hernias involving urologic organs. The first case involved an elderly gentleman with a history of micturition by squeezing his scrotum. He was diagnosed as having a right-sided indirect inguinal hernia involving the right ureter and bladder. Treatment was surgical. The second case involved an achondroplastic male who presented with acute kidney injury. He had bilateral hydronephrosis and ureteric obstruction secondary to an ureteroinguinal herniation bilaterally. The presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of inguinoscrotal hernias involving the bladder and ureters are discussed.
