Background: Spigelian hernia represents a rare entity. Traditionally, it was repaired by the open technique. Various laparoscopic techniques have emerged periodically. Most laparoscopic repairs use the technique of placing an intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM). There is currently a tendency to close the hernia defect.
Methods: A 68-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of vague abdominal pain and discomfort. Physical examination revealed a bulky palpable mass on the left side of the patient. Computed tomography of abdomen revealed a left-sided incarcerated spigelian hernia containing bowel. The aim of this study was to report an educational video providing a successful laparoscopic IPOM-plus technique with muscles approximation of spigelian hernia repair step by step.
Results: Total operative time was 120 minutes. The postoperative period was uneventful. The patient reported no pain and the cosmetic result was excellent. No bulging or seroma was noted. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 1.
Conclusion: The IPOM-plus technique may improve the outcome of spigelian hernia repair.
