INTRODUCTION: Trocar site hernia is a rare complication of laparoscopic surgery. It mainly occurs at 10-mm and larger port sites. Only a few cases of herniation through 5-mm port sites were reported in the literature, but none of them occured through Spigelian fascia. We reported an unusual presentation of an incarcerated Spigelian hernia through 5-mm lateral port site, that presented with the symptoms of ileus.
