Correct Answer: Both of the above
Description: Spigelian hernias can occur anywhere along the length of the Spigelian line or zone--an aponeurotic band of variable width at the lateral border of the rectus abdominis.

These are not always clinically evident as a bulge and may come to medical attention because of pain or incarceration. Ref: Schwaz's principle of surgery 9th edition, chapter 35.
