Abstract

Spigelian hernia is rare. It accounts for less than 0.1% of all abdominal wall hernias. It is often diagnosed at the complication stage. We report a case of a 52-year-old female patient with a clinical and morphological examination in favor of a spigelian hernia. Per-operative discovery showed a hernial sac with intestinal contents.She underwent a cure of hernia by the placement of polypropylene mesh in the abdominal wall at the weak spot.
