Ureter in Sliding Inguinal Hernia

Case Report-Inguinoscrotal ureteral hernia diagnosed on micturating cystourethrography

“…So far, 140 cases have been described in the world literature;[ 12 13 ] however, only one such case has been diagnosed on a preoperative urogram. [ 14 ] The diagnosis of ureteral inguinoscrotal hernia is often missed because of the absence of urinary symptoms.…”

Inguino-scrotal herniation of the ureter containing stones

“…Abdomen and pelvis contrast-enhanced CT scan does not always accurately and reliably show the entire course of the ureters, which might instead require a dedicated urological imaging protocol such as intravenous urography or a retrograde pyelogram CT urogram [12]. Such investigations may be often used to study chronic obstructive uropathy that is sometimes absent in some para-peritoneal ureteral hernias [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. When discovered, ureteric hernias should be surgically repaired.…”
