Area of Science:

  • Abdominal surgery
  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Surgical case report

Background:

  • Spigelian hernias are uncommon, occurring in the lateral abdominal wall.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to small size and infrequent incarceration.

Observation:

  • An incarcerated Spigelian hernia was identified.
  • The hernia was successfully repaired using minimally invasive video-assisted laparoscopy.

Findings:

  • Laparoscopic Spigelian hernia repair is feasible and effective.
  • Concurrent repair with cholecystectomy was successfully performed.

Implications:

  • Video-assisted laparoscopy offers a minimally invasive approach for Spigelian hernia repair.
  • This technique may be suitable for concurrent abdominal procedures, improving patient outcomes.
