  • Spigelian Hernia repair as a day-case procedure
    Hernia, 2013
    Co-Authors: M. Zuvela, M. Milicevic, D. Galun, A. Djuric-stefanovic, P. Bulajic, I. Palibrk
    Abstract:

    Purpose Only a few series of patients with a Spigelian Hernia managed on an outpatient basis have been reported in the literature. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the results of the elective Spigelian Hernia repair as an ambulatory procedure. Methods From June 2007 to June 2010, 8 patients with 9 Spigelian Hernias were electively operated on under local anesthesia as a day case. Four patients had unilateral Spigelian Hernia, 1 had Spigelian and inguinal on the same side, 1 had Spigelian and epigastric, 1 had Spigelian and umbilical, and 1 patient had bilateral Spigelian and umbilical Hernia. Spigelian Hernia was managed by the “open preperitoneal flat mesh technique.” In patients with several ventral Hernias at different sites, “the open preperitoneal flat mesh technique” was performed using one separate flat mesh for each of the Hernias; for the patient with inguinal Hernia, the Lichtenstein procedure was performed in addition. Results No complications and recurrences were recorded during a mean follow-up of 23.5 months (range: 11–35). Conclusion The elective Spigelian Hernia can be successfully repaired under local anesthesia as a day-case procedure. The “open preperitoneal flat mesh technique” provides excellent results under these conditions.

  • incarcerated small bowel in a Spigelian Hernia
    Hernia, 2004
    Co-Authors: K Tsalis, E Zacharakis, I Lambrou, D Betsis
    Abstract:

    We report on a case of a 68-year-old man who was transferred to our department to undergo surgical treatment of intestinal obstruction and a palpable right-sided abdominal mass. The abdominal computed tomography scan revealed a small bowel obstruction with an incarcerated Spigelian Hernia. A mesh repair was performed by suturing the mesh to the internal oblique muscle and to the rectus sheath. The postoperative course was uneventful, and no recurrence has occurred during the 2-year follow-up. An urgent operation should be performed as soon as an accurate diagnosis of incarcerated Spigelian Hernia has been made. Computed tomography should be helpful in order to establish an accurate diagnosis of the incarcerated Hernia.

  • Spigelian Hernia associated with strangulation of the small bowel and appendix
    Hernia, 2003
    Co-Authors: Ahmet Onal, Selman Sokmen, Koray Atila
    Abstract:

    Spigelian Hernia is a rare lateral ventral abdominal Hernia. These clinically elusive Hernias are treacherous and have a real risk of strangulation. We present a patient with a strangulation of the small bowel and appendix in a right Spigelian Hernia, which was accurately demonstrated by spiral computerised tomography preoperatively and successfully treated with primary suturing reinforced with polypropylene mesh. With a high index of suspicion and the use of modern radiological technique, these "bewildering" Hernias can be diagnosed and repaired relatively safely.
