Abstract
|
|
|
|
Lumbar hernias arise through posterolateral abdominal wall defects. They may be congenital or acquired. Surgical repair, which is necessary due to the risk of incarceration and strangulation, may be accomplished via an open or laparoscopic approach. We describe the laparoscopic approach to the repair of a superior lumbar hernia. Case: A 55-year-old woman presented with a palpable mass in the right posterolateral abdominal wall, which she had noted for the past 4 years. Abdominal CT demonstrated a right superior lumbar hernia. We performed laparoscopic repair using polyester mesh. The patient was discharged on the second postoperative day. There were no postoperative complications or recurrences during the follow-up period of 24 months.
