RESUMO
We report on a new method for the repair of spigelian hernia, in which we combined the step-by-step local anesthesia and open preperitoneal mesh repair techniques. After initial infiltration of local anesthetics, we incised the attenuated fascia and slightly enlarged the fascial defect to facilitate easy return of hernial content into the abdominal cavity. We injected preperitoneally, in a radial fashion around the peritoneal sac, more saline solution, consisting of 1:200,000 epinephrine (g:g) and 1/3 bupivacain (v:v). We dissected the peritoneum away from the anterior abdominal wall to create a preperitoneal pocket of sufficient size. We spread open a 9 x 9-cm polypropylene mesh in the area, as if we were doing a GPRVS of Stoppa. We followed up our four patients for an average of 32 months. All four cases had an uneventful recovery and were discharged in an average of 3.5 days. They returned to normal daily activity on the 9th day after surgery. We suggest that the preperitoneal mesh repair of a spigelian hernia under local anesthesia is a simple and feasible technique with favorable early and late postoperative results and deserves further investigation in larger series.

Today, Behcet's disease is known as a multisystem disorder. Eye lesions, mouth and genital aphthous lesions, and skin lesions are accepted as major lesions. The disease also attacks the locomotor system, central nervous system, gastrointestinal system and also arteries and veins. According to available data, some 30% of the patients have vascular lesions; mostly thrombosis of the veins. Arterial thromboses have been rarely reported; and only a few number of arterial aneurysms are noted. Here we present an iliac artery aneurysm in a case of Behcet's disease.
