Emergency intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair of incarcerated spigelian hernia Subramanya MS; Chakraborty J; Memon B; Memon MAJSLS 2010[Apr]; 14 (2): 275-8BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Spigelian hernia is a rare cause of incarcerated ventral abdominal hernia that may pose a diagnostic dilemma. However, with the increasing utilization of double contrast computed tomography (CT) for undiagnosed small bowel obstruction in a virgin abdomen, more such cases are being diagnosed with increasing confidence. Furthermore, with the rapid expansion of the indications for minimal access surgery in emergency situations, these rare emergencies are increasingly tackled using a laparoscopic approach leading to swift patient recovery and discharge. METHODS: We present the case of an emergency intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) repair of Spigelian hernia, causing acute small bowel obstruction in a 55-year-old man with liver disease and ascites that was diagnosed using a CT scan. We conducted a search of Medline, Embase, Science Citation Index, Current Contents, PubMed, and the Cochrane Database to review the history of laparoscopic repair of Spigelian hernia and its various advancements, which are briefly presented here. RESULTS: The hernia was successfully reduced using laparoscopy, revealing a moderate-size defect in the linea semilunaris. The hernial defect was repaired with a composite mesh that was tacked into position. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the second postoperative day. CONCLUSIONS: Spigelian hernia in an emergency setting can be easily and swiftly repaired using the IPOM method utilizing a composite mesh.|*Surgical Mesh[MESH]|Comorbidity[MESH]|Emergency Treatment[MESH]|Hernia, Abdominal/complications/diagnostic imaging/epidemiology/*surgery[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Intestinal Obstruction/epidemiology/etiology[MESH]|Liver Failure/epidemiology[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Tomography, X-Ray Computed[MESH] |
