Abstract
We present a case of a recurrent inguinal bladder hernia that was previously unsuccessfully operated on three times and was repaired using totally extraperitoneal repair (TEP). A 79-year-old man presented with a right inguinal swelling that had been treated three times on the same side with anterior approaches. Computed tomography confirmed a recurrent inguinal bladder hernia. TEP was performed after identifying the bladder hernia preoperatively, with previous surgeries that used a plug-and-patch technique through an anterior approach. The extraperitoneal approach allowed the bladder to be reduced without injury and the hernia to be safely repaired using a 3D Max® Light Mesh. The postoperative recovery was uneventful, with no recurrence after 1 year. TEP facilitates the diagnosis and repair of bladder hernias, emphasizing the importance of preoperative diagnosis and the efficacy of endoscopic procedures in bladder hernia repair, even in recurrent cases.
