S pigelian hernia is a rare congenital defect of the anterior abdominal wall located along the semilunar line through the aponeurosis fascia of the transversus abdominis muscle. It represents 1%–2% of all abdominal wall hernias. Few cases of laparoscopic treatment for S pigelian hernia have been reported, especially in J apan. However, several reports of laparoscopic surgery to repair S pigelian hernias have been published, and some have shown that the laparoscopic approach repair is feasible because it is associated with less morbidity and a shorter hospital stay than open surgery. We herein describe a 63‐year‐old J apanese woman who presented with painful bulging in the right lower abdominal quadrant. A preoperative diagnosis of S pigelian hernia was made, and we performed laparoscopic intraperitoneal repair. The patient was discharged 6 days after laparoscopic surgery with no perioperative complications. This report describes the first successful laparoscopic intraperitoneal mesh repair of S pigelian hernia in J apan.
