Area of Science:

  • Abdominal surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical imaging

Background:

  • Spigelian hernias are rare abdominal wall defects.
  • Incarcerated spigelian hernias can cause intestinal obstruction.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for timely surgical intervention.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old male presented with intestinal obstruction and an abdominal mass.
  • Computed tomography revealed an incarcerated spigelian hernia.
  • Surgical repair involved mesh sutured to the internal oblique muscle and rectus sheath.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent successful mesh repair of the incarcerated spigelian hernia.
  • The postoperative recovery was uneventful.
  • No recurrence was observed during a 2-year follow-up period.
