Background: Bladder hernias are infrequent and should be treated by the urologist, or an experienced surgeon. An inguinoscrotal hernia of the bladder should be suspected in male patients with voiding symptoms and a fluctuant mass in the scrotum that changes its volume during urination. The most common characteristics found on the series were patients with advanced age, sedentary, and overweight. Case Presentation: We present a case series of 4 patients with inguinoscrotal herniation of the bladder, the surgical management, and outcome. Conclusion: The surgical technique used was inguinal plasty with Lichtenstein technique and either laparoscopic or open surgery mesh-plug placement. None had surgical complications, and none had recurrence at their follow-up.
