Overview

Introduction: The author presents a case report of a rare lumbar hernia.

Case report: A 69 years old woman came to our outpatient room with a big mass in the right lumbar area. The CT scan revealed a big lumbar hernia containing the right kidney, the colon and small intestine. The patient underwent an uneventful open hernioplasty with the use of a prolene mesh.

Conclusion: Lumbar hernia occurs very rarely. Open hernioplasty with the use of a mesh is the method of choice in big hernias. Small hernias can be repaired laparoscopically.
