Video-assisted Spigelian hernia repair.
Spigelian hernia is a rare hernia of the lateral abdominal wall. It is rarely incarcerated and sometimes difficult to diagnose because it is so small. This report describes an incarcerated Spigelian hernia that was successfully repaired using video-assisted laparoscopy, concurrent with a cholecystectomy.
