Bladder being a content of inguinal hernias is a rare event and it being the sole component is extremely uncommon. Usually, elderly obese males are affected and symptomatology depends on the extent of bladder involvement. However, recognition of this entity is important in the treatment of LUTS as well as to avoid inadvertent bladder injury during hernia repair.
