Area of Science:

Abdominal wall surgery
Minimally invasive surgical techniques
Hernia repair

Background:

Spigelian hernias (SHs) constitute 1-2% of abdominal wall hernias.
Open repair has been the traditional method.
Laparoscopic techniques have gained popularity since 1992.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current trends in laparoscopic repair of Spigelian hernias (SHs).
To synthesize evidence on various laparoscopic techniques for SH repair.

Main Methods:

Systematic review of MEDLINE and EMBASE databases.
Inclusion of papers describing laparoscopic repair of SHs.
Analysis of 50 identified articles.

Main Results:

Two hundred thirty-seven SHs were repaired using various laparoscopic techniques.
No randomized controlled trials comparing laparoscopic methods were found.
The intraperitoneal onlay mesh technique was the most frequent method, reporting minimal complications and recurrences.

Conclusions:

Multiple laparoscopic techniques exist for SH repair.
Laparoscopic repair of SHs is a safe and acceptable surgical approach.
