A Laparoscopic Approach for Incarcerated Spigelian Hernia

Abstract

Incarcerated Spigelian hernia (SH) is an uncommon surgical emergency that demands immediate operative treatment. In the era of minimal access surgery, elective laparoscopic repair of uncomplicated SH is safe and feasible. Herein, we report a case of incarcerated Spigelian hernia that was successfully managed by laparoscopic hernioplasty on an emergent basis.
