Abstract
A planned elective repair, via the laparoscope, of a spigelian hernia is described. The repair was performed using a composite mesh prosthesis consisting of a sandwich of polyester fiber mesh and polyglactin 910 mesh, sutured together with polyglactin 910 suture at the operating table before introduction. The technique is applicable to other hernias of the anterior abdominal wall.Keywords
