ABSTRACT

Inguinoscrotal ureteral hernia is an extremely rare pathology and there are very few reports on it in the international literature. The present case is a 69-yearold man with severe prostatism and hematuria. He was studied radiographically and incidental diagnosis of left inguinoscrotal hernia was made. He underwent retropubic prostatectomy, retroperitoneal inguinal hernioplasty, ureteral reduction and left double-J catheter placement. Postoperative progression at 18-month follow-up is good.
