Laparoscopic technique in the management of Spigelian hernia.
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.
