title: [Our experience with Spigelio's hernia].
abstract: The authors present their experience about diagnosis and therapy of Spigelian hernia in five cases observed. Clinical examination is the foundation of the diagnosis and radiological findings (ultrasonography, colonic X-rays, CT and NMR) permit to exclude other pathologies which concern differential diagnosis. They suggest prosthetic repair, similar to the therapy of groin hernias, using a tension-free technique. This method of treatment avoids relapses and does not alter the functionality of muscular and aponeurotic apparatus.
