Abstract: | PurposePediatric spigelian hernias are very rare. They are often missed or misdiagnosed. A series of cases with spigelian hernia, presented to a tertiary care center are presented here with emphasis on different anatomy of spigelian hernias with cryptorchidism and those without associated cryptorchidism.Materials and MethodsOver a period of seven years, nine cases of spigelian hernia presented to our tertiary care center. Male:female ratio was 3:1.There was a preponderance of right sided hernias. Three patients had associated cryptorchidism. One patient had associated lumbar hernia. All three patients with cryptorchidism had low spigelian hernia while others had classical spigelian hernia.ConclusionThere is a likelihood of anatomical variation in SH associated with UDT and those without UDT. Understanding this anatomy may help in correct scrotal placement of testis.Type of StudyProspective Observational.Level of Evidence4. |
