Abstract EN
A spigelian hernia is a protrusion through an anterior abdominal wall defect along the linea semilunaris.
The traditional method of repair consists of an open surgical technique requiring a lengthy abdominal incision to allow visualization of the defect.
However, with the emergence and availability of laparoscopic techniques, a minimally invasive approach is feasible.
Only eight prior case reports have documented emergent laparoscopic repair of a spigelian hernia.
We describe the first successful laparoscopic repair of a spigelian hernia in an emergent setting at our institution.
