Przepukliny pachwinowe skośne są najczęściej występującymi przepuklinami w wieku dziecięcym. Przepukliny brzuszne o innym umiejscowieniu wrót spotyka się bardzo rzadko. W pracy omówiono dane epidemiologiczne, objawy kliniczne i sposoby leczenia rzadkich przepuklin zewnętrznych brzucha u dzieci z uwzględnieniem przepukliny pachwinowej prostej, przepukliny udowej, przepukliny nadbrzusznej, przepukliny Spigela oraz przepukliny lędźwiowej.

Abstract

Indirect inguinal hernias are the most common abdominal hernias in childhood. An incidence of other ventral hernias is significantly lower. The review presents epidemiological and clinical aspects of the rare abdominal hernias in children. Their diagnostic and surgical management are discussed as well. Particular attention was put on direct inguinal hernia, femoral hernia, epigastric hernia, Spigelian hernia and, finally, lumbar hernia.
