In the case of Roux in 1891 the hernia existed on both sides.

The uterus has been found twice only in crural hernia and three times in umbilical hernia.

There is one case recorded, according to Debierre, in which the uterus was one of the constituents of an obturator hernia.

Sometimes its appendages are found with it.

Doring, Ledesma, Rektorzick, and Scazoni have found the uterus in the sac of an inguinal hernia; Leotaud, Murray, and Hagner in an umbilical hernia.

Absence of the penis is an extremely rare anomaly, although it has been noted by Schenck, Borellus, Bouteiller, Nelaton, and others.
