- Abstract
This article presents a case study of a 74-year-old male who experienced obstructed urosepsis due to a ureteroinguinal hernia. The patient initially responded to antibiotics and fluid resuscitation, but continued to have fevers. Due to challenges with accessing the ureter, the patient underwent urgent open inguinal hernia reduction and repair. Post-operatively, the patient made a good recovery and a repeat CT scan showed a reduction of the hernia and improved drainage of the ureter. Ureteroinguinal hernias are rare and surgical intervention is indicated in cases of symptomatic hernias or obstructive urosepsis. This case demonstrates the effective use of hernia repair for managing ureteroinguinal obstructed upper tract sepsis.
