Irreducible Inguinal Bladder Herniation Containing an Intravesical Calculus: A Rare Dual Pathology.

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
Inguinal bladder herniation is a rare clinical condition, and its association with a vesical calculus within the herniated bladder segment is exceptionally uncommon. We report the case of a 68-year-old man who presented with bilateral inguinal herniae accompanied by hematuria. He was evaluated with urine culture and sensitivity testing, blood investigations, and computed tomography (CT). CT imaging demonstrated a left inguinal hernia containing a portion of the urinary bladder with an associated 2.5 × 1.8 cm vesical calculus. In collaboration with the urology team, the patient underwent bilateral open mesh hernioplasty with vesicolitholapaxy using a holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG) laser. Successful reduction of the herniated bladder segment and complete removal of the calculus were achieved. Early preoperative identification of bladder herniation with an associated stone through imaging played a critical role in surgical planning and helped avoid inadvertent bladder injury during surgery. This case underscores the importance of considering bladder herniation in elderly male patients presenting with inguinal herniae and urinary symptoms, as timely diagnosis and coordinated surgical-urological management can optimize outcomes and reduce perioperative risk.
