title: Laparoscopic technique in the management of Spigelian hernia.
abstract: Spigelian hernias are uncommon, and preoperative diagnosis is often difficult. The use of the laparoscope has simplified the diagnosis and subsequent repair of these rare hernias. We report a case diagnosed and repaired using laparoscopic techniques of fascia approximation, mesh reinforcement, and reperitonization.
