AbstractLarge sliding inguinal hernias involving the urinary bladder are rare. We present the relevant clinical data, radiographic images, and the intraoperative findings of a sliding inguinoscrotal herniation of the urinary bladder. A 67-year-old male presented with a scrotal mass and the need to manually compress his scrotum in order to void. Diagnosed with a large sliding inguinal hernia with significant bladder involvement (scrotal cystocele), the patient underwent an inguinal herniorraphy and replacement of the bladder in the retroperitoneal space. Surgery proved to be successful in the management of the inguinal hernia and voiding dysfunction.
