A rare discovery of Spigelian-cryptorchidism syndrome in adult

Spigelian hernia (SH) occurs due to the protrusion through a congenital or acquired defect or weakness in the Spigelian aponeurosis. SH accounts for only 0.1–0.4% of occurrence and a 17–24% risk of strangulation. We hereby report a case of a 34-year-old gentleman presented with concomitant incarcera...

Sumario:Spigelian hernia (SH) occurs due to the protrusion through a congenital or acquired defect or weakness in the Spigelian aponeurosis. SH accounts for only 0.1–0.4% of occurrence and a 17–24% risk of strangulation. We hereby report a case of a 34-year-old gentleman presented with concomitant incarceration of the omentum with small intestine and testis in Spigelian hernia sac. We have successfully operated on this patient via a transperitoneal approach with a small incision over the hernia site. This incision could be an alternative to midline laparotomy as a safe and effective method in managing incarcerated SH in an emergency setting.
