Background: A Spigelian Hernia (SH) is an uncommon clinical entity comprising 0.12% to 2% of all the abdominal wall hernias. Usually the symptoms of the hernia are non-specific and therefore a diagnosis based only on the clinical examination is difficult. Imaging studies are particularly useful during the diagnostic process, but sometimes do not give the proper presurgical diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
