- Abstract
Introduction: Lumbar hernia is a very rare type of abdominal wall hernia with a small number of published cases. It can occur through two anatomical triangles: an upper one or Grynfelt-Lesshaft triangle and a lower one or Petit triangle. Case presentation: We present the case of a 64-year-old woman with a soft and reducible tumor in the left posterolateral region of the abdominal wall. Computerized tomography confirmed the existence of a lumbar hernia through the superior triangle or Grynfelt-Lesshaft triangle. Patient was operated through a transabdominal laparoscopic approach in which after reduction of hernial content (fatty tissue) a double-layer mesh was placed in an intraperitoneal position. She was discharged 24 hours after the intervention and no immediate complications were observed. Discussion: Lumbar hernia is a very rare type of abdominal wall hernia and its diagnosis requires high clinical suspicion and often radiological confirmation by computerized tomography. Conclusion: Lumbar hernia repair is indicated to avoid possible complications and can be performed with an open or laparoscopic approach. Repair should include a mesh to reduce the risk of recurrence.
