Introduction: A sliding hernia is a rare type of inguinal hernia in which the hernia sac is partially formed by the wall of a viscus, such as the sigmoid colon, bladder, cecum, or appendix. Sliding hernias involving the bladder often present with obstructive urinary symptoms that could potential lead to serious complications.
Case Presentation: In this case, we present a 37-year-old male with a recurrent sliding hernia containing the dome of the bladder after prior laparoscopic repair of a direct inguinal hernia with mesh.
Discussion: A TAPP approach is preferred over a TEP approach in the laparoscopic repair of a sliding hernia; however, an open Lichenstein repair should be used in cases of recurrent hernias with severe complications, such as extensive adhesions or incarceration.
Conclusion: The surgical approach for repair of a sliding hernia must be individualized based on the patient's clinical presentation and diagnostic findings.

A case report on rarer case of triple combined hernia: Management, challenges, and insights.
Int J Surg Case Rep
September 2024
Addis Ababa University, Collège of Health Sciences, School of Medicine, Department of Anesthesia, Ethiopia. Electronic address:
Background: Triple combined hernias are rare surgical presentations where three different tissues protrude through abdominal wall weaknesses. Amyand's hernia involves appendix entrapment within an inguinal hernia, while Richter's hernia entraps bowel circumference in the sac. The combination of sliding bladder hernia, Amyand's, and Richter's hernia has not been documented in medical literature, making preoperative diagnosis challenging.
