Simultaneous Left Femoral and Inguinal Hernias with Bladder Rupture and Incarcerated Bowel: Case Report
Authors
Dr. Vinod Kumar Nigam
Abstract

Background: Simultaneous occurrence of femoral and inguinal hernias is rare, and even more uncommon is their association with a ruptured urinary bladder and incarcerated bowel. Such complex presentations pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Prompt recognition and surgical intervention are critical to prevent morbidity and mortality.

Objective: This case report aims to describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, surgical management, and outcomes of a patient presenting with concurrent left femoral and left inguinal hernias complicated by bladder rupture and bowel incarceration.

Methods: A detailed clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and intraoperative findings were used to guide diagnosis and treatment. The patient underwent emergency surgical repair, including reduction of incarcerated bowel, bladder repair, and hernia correction. Postoperative recovery and follow-up were closely monitored to assess outcomes and complications.

Results: The patient presented with acute lower abdominal pain, swelling in the left groin region, and urinary symptoms. Imaging revealed dual hernias and evidence of bladder rupture. Surgical exploration confirmed incarceration of a small bowel loop and bladder injury. Successful repair of the bowel and bladder, along with hernia correction, was performed. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful, and full recovery was achieved.

Conclusion: Concurrent femoral and inguinal hernias with bladder rupture and bowel incarceration, though extremely rare, require rapid diagnosis and surgical management. Awareness of this unusual presentation is essential for clinicians to prevent delays and optimize patient outcomes. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex hernia complications.
