Abstract
Spigelian hernia is an uncommon hernia of the abdominal wall. We report a case of acquired spigelian hernia diagnosed and treated by laparoscopy. With more extensive use of laparoscopy to evaluate abdominal pain, the diagnosis of spigelian hernia can be made and repair accomplished without need for open exploratory surgery.
