Interventional
Not applicable
The surgical treatment of Spigelian hernias is mainly carried out with prosthetic meshes made of biocompatible material. In prosthetic repair of abdominal protrusions, mesh fixation and overlap of the mesh are source of complications. To avoid these problems, for a fixation free repair of Spigelian hernias has been developed a tentacle shaped implant, that should also assure a broader defect overlap. This study should highlight in a cohort of patients the long-term results of fixation free repair of Spigelian hernias carried out with tentacle mesh.
Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
Spigelian hernias are repaired through the fixation free placement of a tentacle mesh in preperitoneal sublay thanks the friction exerted by the tentacle straps delivered by a proprietary needle passer crossing trouh the abdominal wall from the preperitoneal space until the subutaneous layer. This procedural approach should also grant a broad overlap of the implant over the hernial defect
Time frame: Intraoperative
