Zusammenfassung: | Abstract
Spigelian hernia is protrusion of the viscera through the spigelian fascia. They account for only 2% of all abdominal wall hernias and are relatively associated with higher risk of complications. It was first reported by Klinkosch in 1764. The treatment of choice is open hernioplasty. Here we report a case of 65 yrs. old lady who underwent laparoscopic transabdominal underlay repair for spigelian hernia concluding that minimal assess surgery is a viable modality of treatment of spigelian hernia. |
