Abstract:
Two children with spigelian hernias are presented in this report. The etiopathogenesis and surgical anatomy of these rare hernias were discussed. Our cases are the fourth and fifth cases of spigelian hernia (SH) in patients under 2 years of age. Surgical intervention is indicated in all cases of SH because of the danger of strangulation of the bowel.
