Bladder inguinal hernias: diagnostic value of CT and surgical outcomes with TAPP.
Article in Fukushima journal of medical science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundBladder inguinal hernias are relatively rare, accounting for 0.5-5% of all inguinal hernias. They often present with nonspecific symptoms, making diagnosis challenging. Without timely treatment, complications such as urinary tract infection, bladder obstruction, or renal dysfunction may occur. Early recognition is crucial, and computed tomography (CT) is particularly effective in identifying bladder involvement, providing detailed anatomical information needed for surgical planning.
methodsWe evaluated three cases of bladder inguinal hernia successfully diagnosed preoperatively using CT and treated with transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP). These cases highlight the diagnostic value of CT and the safety and efficacy of TAPP.
resultsThree patients, aged 65, 80, and 81, presented with groin pain or urinary symptoms. CT confirmed bladder prolapse in all cases. TAPP was performed without major complications. Operative times ranged from 97 to 106 minutes, with minimal blood loss. All patients were discharged within 3 days, and no recurrences were observed during 1-4 years of follow-up.
conclusionsCT is effective for diagnosing bladder involvement in inguinal hernias and should be considered for all suspected cases. TAPP offers a safe and effective way to manage this condition.
