Ureteroinguinal Hernia: A Rare General Surgery Phenomenon

An inguinal hernia involving the ureter is extremely rare and even rarer in patients with native kidneys. It can occur with or without obstructive uropathy and as such, a high index of suspicion should be held for patients with urinary symptoms and concurrent inguinal hernia.

description An inguinal hernia involving the ureter is extremely rare and even rarer in patients with native kidneys. It can occur with or without obstructive uropathy and as such, a high index of suspicion should be held for patients with urinary symptoms and concurrent inguinal hernia. Additionally, iatrogenic ureter injury can occur if surgeons are unaware of ureteral involvement pre-operatively. We present a case of a patient with a known ureteroinguinal hernia who proceeded to have an elective hernia repair with ureteral protection.
