Spigelian hernia is an uncommon variety of abdominal hernias. It has been traditionally treated by tension‐free mesh hernioplasty. We report a rare case of a bilateral Spigelian hernia in an elderly male that was treated by bilateral two‐layeyed prolene mesh hernia system. Rare ventral hernia such as Spigelian hernia with weak abdominal wall can be safely treated by tension‐free mesh repair using bilayered prolene mesh system.
