Surg."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Inguinal hernia repair is a routine operation. However, it is rare for the organs of the urinary system to prolapse as the contents of the hernia. An 80-year-old obese male with a history of three prior open inguinal hernia repairs presented with a recurrent large scrotal mass and severe right hydronephrosis. Preoperative Computed Tomography urography (CTU) revealed a giant inguinal vesicoureteral hernia involving the bladder and ureter. The patient underwent transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) with intraoperative identification of herniated bladder-ureter components facilitated by bladder catheter saline infusion and ureteroscopic assistance. Postoperative CTU at 1 week demonstrated complete reduction of herniated viscera and resolution of hydronephrosis. No complications occurred, and 6-month follow-up confirmed sustained recovery without recurrence. This case provides valuable insight into preoperative diagnostic difficulties and the intra- and postoperative management of an inguinal vesicoureteral hernia in a multiple relapsed old man, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention in the treatment of this disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2025.1664253","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,11]],"date-time":"2025-11-11T06:31:05Z","timestamp":1762842665000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case Report: Laparoscopic repair of a recurrent, huge, inguinoscrotal vesicoureteral hernia: a case report and review of the literature"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Shunhua","family":"Tian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guilin","family":"Min","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fan","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qingfeng","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hongliu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"208","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2019.04.040","article-title":"Inguinal bladder hernia: a case report and literature review","volume":"58","author":"Elkbuli","year":"2019","journal-title":"Int J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"199","DOI":"10.4103\/0971-3026.85368","article-title":"Case report-inguinoscrotal ureteral hernia diagnosed on micturating cystourethrography","volume":"21","author":"Sripathi","year":"2011","journal-title":"Indian J Radiol Imaging"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"36","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2017.08.046","article-title":"Inguinal hernia containing urinary bladder-a case report","volume":"40","author":"Taskovska","year":"2017","journal-title":"Int J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"226","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2020.10.034","article-title":"The SCARE 2020 guideline: updating consensus surgical CAse REport (SCARE) guidelines","volume":"84","author":"Agha","year":"2020","journal-title":"Int J Surg"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1007\/s10029-017-1668-x","article-title":"International guidelines for groin hernia management","volume":"22","year":"2018","journal-title":"Hernia"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"38","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5347(17)61221-7","article-title":"Scrotal herniation of the ureter","volume":"106","author":"Mallouh","year":"1971","journal-title":"J Urol"},{"key":"B7","first-page":"720","article-title":"Ureteroinguinal hernia: a rare companion of sliding inguinal hernias","volume":"57","author":"Ballard","year":"1991","journal-title":"Am Surg"},{"key":"B8","first-page":"E29","article-title":"Inguinoscrotal extraperitoneal herniation of a ureter","volume":"52","author":"Sharma","year":"2009","journal-title":"Can J Surg"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"107007","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2022.107007","article-title":"Rare case of inguinal ureteral hernia in a child diagnosed by drip infusion pyelography-computed tomography","volume":"94","author":"Hosoda","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"291","DOI":"10.1007\/s10029-004-0296-4","article-title":"Inguino-scrotal hernia of a double district ureter: case report and literature review","volume":"9","author":"Bertolaccini","year":"2005","journal-title":"Hernia"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.1016\/j.urology.2020.03.031","article-title":"Acute renal failure caused by giant inguinoscrotal bladder hernia","volume":"141","author":"Szyma\u0144ski","year":"2020","journal-title":"Urology"},{"key":"B12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"128","DOI":"10.1111\/ases.12818","article-title":"A case of indirect inguinal bladder hernia treated by laparoscopic hernia repair","volume":"14","author":"Kohga","year":"2021","journal-title":"Asian J Endosc Surg"},{"key":"B13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"202","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-020-02521-7","article-title":"Inguinal ureter herniation evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging: a case report","volume":"14","author":"Renzulli","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Med Case Rep"},{"key":"B14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"230","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ciresp.2018.08.009","article-title":".
