Published: February 2023

Arcuate line hernias are a rare type of hernia with limited publications regarding their successful repair. The arcuate line is the inferior limit of the posterior leaf of the rectus sheath. An arcuate line hernia is a type of intraparietal hernia, meaning it is not a truly complete fascial defect of the abdominal and, therefore, may present with atypical symptoms. Although published data on arcuate line hernia repairs are limited to a handful of case reports and one literature review, reports regarding robotic repair are exceptionally rare. This case report is the second documented robotic approach to arcuate line hernias known to these authors.

Article Synopsis
  • Robotic surgery is transforming minimally invasive approaches, particularly benefiting pediatric surgeons through enhanced precision due to the small surgical areas involved.
  • A unique collaboration between pediatric and adult robotic surgeons facilitated the integration of robotic surgery in an academic setting, evaluating its outcomes against traditional laparoscopic techniques.
  • Results showed that robotic cholecystectomy (RC) is on par with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in key metrics like procedure duration and patient recovery, highlighting the feasibility and advantages of robotic surgery for pediatric patients.

An arcuate line hernia is a generally asymptomatic, ascending protrusion of intraperitoneal structures over the linea arcuata. Arcuate line herniae are scarcely reported in the literature. Only a few publications were found.

Article Synopsis
  • Spigelian hernia is a rare type of abdominal wall hernia that often goes unnoticed until it becomes incarcerated, usually forming where the arcuate line meets the lateral part of the rectus abdominis muscle.
  • A case involved a 44-year-old woman with a painful lump in her abdomen, which was suspected to be an incarcerated atypical hernia; imaging confirmed the presence of a Spigelian hernia, despite initial thoughts of a different condition due to her use of interferon.
  • Diagnosing Spigelian hernias is challenging because symptoms can be nonspecific, and the high risk of incarceration suggests that even less obvious cases should be surgically treated.

Background: Parastomal hernia is a major long-term complication after abdominoperineal resection. Extraperitoneal colostomy has been proposed as an effective step for parastomal hernia prevention, but it has not been widely used as it is technically demanding and time-consuming. We proposed a modified approach for extraperitoneal colostomy creation by entering the extraperitoneal space through the arcuate line of the posterior rectus sheath.

Although it is uncommon, gastroesophageal reflux disease can present after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and it is usually related to technical errors. Hiatal hernia, a narrow calibrated gastrojejunostomy and a long gastric pouch are all factors associated with the development of pathologic gastroesophageal reflux. Techniques are available to treat this condition, such as fundoplications with the gastric remnant, gastropexy to the arcuate ligament, teres ligament repair, or sphincter augmentation with the LINX device.
