Abstract
- A spigelian hernia is a rare hernia of the lateral wall and is difficult to diagnose and localize before surgical exploration. We report the case of a spigelian hernia treated by using laparoscopy. The laparoscopic approach affords an accurate appraisal of the defect and a direct means of repair. More extensive use of laparoscopy, instead of open exploratory surgery, is recommended for the evaluation and repair of such hernias.
