Spigelian hernia is a rare lateral ventral abdominal hernia. These clinically elusive hernias are treacherous and have a real risk of strangulation. We present a patient with a strangulation of the small bowel and appendix in a right spigelian hernia, which was accurately demonstrated by spiral computerised tomography preoperatively and successfully treated with primary suturing reinforced with polypropylene mesh. With a high index of suspicion and the use of modern radiological technique, these "bewildering" hernias can be diagnosed and repaired relatively safely.

The use of vermiform appendix as a tube to replace right ureteral segment has been reported, rarely in child. Herein is reported a case of right ischemic ureteral stenosis following a reimplantation of the ureter for high grade reflux secondary to posterior urethral valves with only one functioning kidney. A long ureteral defect was bridged successfully by appendix interposition and then reimplanted in the bladder at four years of age. The interest of ureteroappendiculoplasty provides temporary solution to repair long ureteral defect, in spite of uncertain future, especially in childhood.
