Detailed Description
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.

Procedure: Fixation free Spigelian hernia repair with tentacle mesh
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

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Fixation free prosthetic repair of Spigelian hernias with tentacle mesh [Intraoperative]
Feasibility of fixation free placement of tentacle mesh in Spigelian hernia repair
- Granting a broad implant overlap in prosthetic repair of Spigelian hernias with tentacle mesh [between 6 and 84 months postop]
Granting a broad overlap over the hernial defect after placement in preperitoneal sublay of tentacle mesh in Spigelian hernia repair with tentacle mesh to reduce risks of recurrence in the long term postop.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Intra-operative features [intraoperatively]
reduction of the operative time length
- Postoperative features 1 [between 6 and 84 months postop]
Postoperative pain assessment with VAS scoring system
- Postoperative features 2 [between 6 and 84 months postop]
Assessment of postoperative complications
