Open vs Laparoscopic Repair of Spigelian Hernia

Abstract: The elective treatment of a spigelian hernia is still under discussion, fundamentally owing to its rarity. The purpose of the study is to analyze the elective surgical treatment of spigelian hernia.Design: A prospective, randomized controlled trial.Setting: University teaching hospital.Patients and Interventions: Two surgeons performed 11 conventional and 11 laparoscopic repairs for a spigelian hernia, alternating roles as primary surgeon and assistant. Each time the type of technique was randomly chosen using… Show more

“…PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE of avoiding general anesthesia so that can be performed easily as an outpatient procedure and also avoids the possible added risk of visceral lesions as demonstrates the only prospective randomized controlled trial comparing conventional versus laparoscopic management of Spigelian hernia (22). Generally speaking, laparoscopic approach results in less infection rate, quicker incorporation to activities of daily living, less postoperative pain and specially avoids opening the external oblique aponeurosis and therefore a risk reduction of recurrence (1).…”

“…19,20 (Fig. 3) En el abordaje laparoscópico intra abdominal, se pueden presentar lesiones viscerales u obstrucción postoperatoria, por lo que Moreno -Egea describe el abordaje laparoscópico totalmente extraperitoneal en el que se podría evitar dichas complicaciones y permita la reparación del defecto desde su origen en la pared abdominal posterior 21,22 . En nuestro trabajo no tuvimos complicaciones ni recidivas, en el seguimiento de los pacientes.…”
