“…SH is a type of ventral hernia, described as a protrusion of any intraabdominal contents through the abdominal wall along the semilunar line, particularly at the semilunar junction and the arcuate line. SHs account for approximately 2% of all ventral hernias and less than 1% of all abdominal hernias [ 2 ]. The most common symptom is pain, but the clinical presentation differs depending on the content of the hernial sac, the level, and the degree of herniation [ 3 ].…”

Spigelian hernia-undescended testes (SH-UDT) syndrome is a rare disorder, with only 57 cases reported in the literature. The presentation can be asymptomatic or symptomatic in the form of pain, tenderness, or a lump. We present a case of a 50-day-old boy with SH-UDT syndrome. The patient presented with signs and symptoms of acute intestinal obstruction. Exploration confirmed a Spigelian hernia containing small bowel loops and right undescended testis. Orchidopexy was done after ligation of the hernial sac. A follow-up visit after two years revealed right testicular atrophy.

Spigelian hernia (SH) occurs due to the protrusion through a congenital or acquired defect or weakness in the Spigelian aponeurosis. SH accounts for only 0.1–0.4% of occurrence and a 17–24% risk of strangulation. We hereby report a case of a 34-year-old gentleman presented with concomitant incarceration of the omentum with small intestine and testis in Spigelian hernia sac. We have successfully operated on this patient via a transperitoneal approach with a small incision over the hernia site. This incision could be an alternative to midline laparotomy as a safe and effective method in managing incarcerated SH in an emergency setting.
