Abstract
This case report is about an atypical incarcerated right-sided inguinoscrotal hernia with bladder involvement and secondary urinary incontinence in a male in his mid-70s. The patient had no lower urinary tract symptoms but underwent a herniotomy, revealing bladder involvement. Post-surgery showed no signs of urinary incontinence, and most probably bladder distortion caused continuous urine seepage. Inguinoscrotal hernias with bladder involvement are rare and usually asymptomatic. CT scans can diagnose bladder involvement preoperatively.
