Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Spigelian hernia is a rare clinical entity. It has a subtle clinical presentation with vague abdominal pain that may warrant laparoscopy. Even though laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is increasingly popular, laparoscopic repair of spigelian hernia has not been adequately studied. Eight patients who underwent laparoscopic spigelian hernia repair are presented herein, along with a description of our simple technique for mesh placement. In addition, literature review of laparoscopic repair of spigelian hernia is also presented. Our case series included six females and two males; two patients presented acutely whereas the others presented with chronic pain. Laparoscopic repair was successfully performed in all of our patients with a mean operative time of 92.5 minutes. There were no postoperative complications or recurrence with a mean follow up of 36 months. Our scroll technique for laparoscopic repair is simple and feasible. It minimizes intracorporeal mesh manipulation, facilitates mesh fixation to the anterior abdominal wall, and maintains a precise orientation of the mesh in relation to the defect. |
