“…Surgical techniques are variable throughout the eight cases, but, in each case, the surgeons decided to close the defect with mesh attached by staples, sutures and/or tacks. These eight case reports also had variable followup ranging from none reported in two cases [8, 9] to a three-year followup after hospital discharge in one case [6, 18]. …”

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.

“…[3][4][5] Recently, we had reported a case of onlay Prolene mesh repair of SH with reperitonization to prevent troublesome bowel adhesions. 6 However, the procedure of reperitonization was quite time-consuming. We, therefore, opt to repair the SH this time with expanded polytetrafluroethylene as it cause less adhesions and thus reperitonization can be omitted.…”

Recurrent abdominal pain due to spigelian hernia (SH) is rare and notoriously difficult to diagnose. This is particularly true when patient present with pain only without visible or palpable mass. Ultrasonic scanning and computed tomography is valuable in diagnosing this rare condition. However, for a small hernia with its content reduced spontaneously during examination, even computed tomography will miss the diagnosis. In the era of laparoscopic surgery, the role of laparoscopy in the management of recurrent abdominal pain of unknown origin has become more and more important. It is especially true in the management of SH as it is both diagnostic and therapeutic. We report a case of SH presented as recurrent lower abdominal pain of unknown origin and its successful diagnosis and treatment by laparoscopic approach.

“…Most case reports (LE 4) concern emergency obturator hernioplasties, with good results in terms of resolution of symptoms and hospital stay [285][286][287][288][289][290][291][292][293][294][295][296][297].…”

Background In January 2010, the SICE (Italian Society of Endoscopic Surgery), under the auspices of the EAES, decided to revisit the clinical recommendations for the role of laparoscopy in abdominal emergencies in adults, with the primary intent being to update the 2006 EAES indications and supplement the existing guidelines on specific diseases. Methods Other Italian surgical societies were invited into the Consensus to form a panel of 12 expert surgeons. In order to get a multidisciplinary panel, other stakeholders involved in abdominal emergencies were invited along with a patient's association.
