Combination of Spigelian and Richter's hernias: a case report.
Spigelian and Richter's hernias, individually, are both moderately rare. To encounter a patient having both of these surgical diseases as a single entity is indeed unique. Such a patient with an acute partial enterocele of cecum (Richter's hernia) strangulated in a lateral ventral musculoaponeurotic defect (Spigelian hernia) was successfully treated with wedge cecectomy and simple herniorraphy.
