Ventral lateral hernias of the abdominal wall are rare. On the basis of their location we can classify them as follows: hernias of the aponeurosis of the transversus muscle, hernias of the rectal sheath and transmuscular hernias of the iliac region. In a group of 3134 hernias of the abdominal wall observed in a period of 16 years, 11 ventral lateral hernias have been encountered (0.3%). The diagnosis often presents great difficulties as the symptoms and the clinical findings are not typical. They must be differentiated from hematomas of the rectus sheath, abscess or intra-abdominal processes. Echography and Computed Tomography have an important role in their detection. Nevertheless in some patients the true diagnosis is reached only intraoperatively. The treatment generally consists in surgical correction by layer closure of the fascial or muscular defect. In selected cases the use of prosthetic material and video laparoscopic repair are indicated.
