ABSTRACT
E A 40-year-old woman describes a gradually increasing lump in the lower, right abdomen. She has had three caesarean sections. There is a Pfannenstiel scar with a reducible mass at its lateral end.
F A 76-year-old man has a 2-year history of small swellings in both groins, causing no real discomfort. Examination confirms reducible hernias, which are not controlled by pressure over the deep inguinal ring.
