Description
Raúl Porras Gutiérrez de Velasco and colleagues told of a rare belly wall hernia case in 2026 in a 64 year old woman. Spigelian hernias are rare. They occur most often in women in their fifties to seventies, in a belt zone of the belly wall. Their deep site and small defect make diagnosis hard, while trapped bowel risk runs high. The patient arrived with belly pain, nausea, and no stool or gas passage.
Checks pointed to acute belly crisis from blocked bowel. Emergency surgery found a Spigelian hernia holding a trapped last ileum segment with dead bowel. Surgeons cut out the dead segment and joined the bowel ends. The case urges prompt surgery when a rare hernia traps bowel, since delay risks wider bowel loss.
