A member asked:
Can a spigelian hernia be a direct result of previous anterior lumbar interbody fusion surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Exactly...: ...However, it is possible to develop an incisional hernia associated with prior abdominal surgery, especially with midline incisions.Typically this is repaired w/mesh via a laparoscopic or open approach.A spigelian hernia is a rare type of hernia that develops along a natural weak point along the lower edge of the rectus muscle, between the belly button&groin. These usually require ct for dx.
