Abstract:
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE:The purpose of this study is to present a summary of paediatric Spigelian hernia (SH) reported to date, and discuss possible aetiology of SH associated with ipsilateral ectopic testis (SH-ET). METHODS:Search of PubMed, Medline, Embase, and CINAHL was performed using keywords "Spigelian hernia". The following were extracted from articles describing paediatric SH: demographics, site and contents of SH, comorbidities, proposed aetiology, presence of ipsilateral inguinal canal (IC) and gubernaculum (G). RESULTS:There were 78 patients with 88 hernias (69 male, 19 female), including 55 male (19 left, 22 right, 7 bilateral) and 16 female (5 left, 5 right, 3 bilateral) nontraumatic SHs. In nontraumatic male SH, 29 hernias contained testis (10 left, 11 right, 4 bilateral), 15 did not, 10 had no data. Of 29 SH-EH, 15 were lacking IC and G, 3 were missing IC (no G data) and 2 had absent G (no IC data). The combination of SH and cryptorchidism is increasingly recognised as a distinct syndrome. However, there is controversy as to the pathogenic mechanism of this association. We hypothesise SH-ET develops because the G, and therefore IC and line of descent, become cranially 'mislocated' along the mammary line, which overlies the Spigelian fascia. CONCLUSION:SH is rare in children. SH-ET may result by testicular descent to an ectopic site along the embryological mammary line.
