{Abstract}: Spigelian hernias are rare herniations through the Spigelian fascia, with an incidence rate of 0.12-2.0% of all hernias. Diagnosis may be difficult due to a potential lack of symptoms until complications arise. Therefore, imaging with either ultrasound or CT with oral contrast is recommended to confirm the diagnosis if a Spigelian hernia is suspected. Once the diagnosis has been established, it is essential that operative repair be performed as soon as possible because 24% of Spigelian hernias become incarcerated, and 27% of Spigelian hernias lead to strangulation. Management options include open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and robotic surgery. This case report discusses the management of a 47-year-old man with an uncomplicated Spigelian hernia that was repaired with the robotic ventral transabdominal preperitoneal repair technique.
