Abstract

Spigelian hernia is rare and accounts for less than 0.1% of abdominal wall hernias. It is often diagnosed at the complication stage. Authors report the case of a 48-year-old obese patient who had a painful swelling of the right iliac fossa. Morphological examination data were in favour of a strangled spigelian hernia and surgical exploration had shown a hernial sac with epiploic contents with a narrow collar. It was performed a resection of the retracted epiploon with simple raphy. The postoperative course was uneventful. Diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties are discussed through a literature review.
