Background. Lumbar hernia is a rare type of hernia. Awareness of the anatomical basis of this hernia is important for proper diagnosis and treatment. Introduction. Lumbar hernia is a protrusion of either extraperitoneal fat or intraperitoneal contents through either of the lumbar triangles. Primary lumbar hernias are extremely rare thereby rendering such a case reportable, to create an awareness about this condition to upcoming surgeons. Case Report. A case of primary lumbar hernia treated successfully by open mesh repair is presented. Discussion. The anatomical aspects underlying this condition along with diagnostic tests, their pitfalls, and surgical approaches are discussed. Conclusion. Awareness of this condition is essential for arriving at a clinical diagnosis. CT scan provides a road map for deciding the approach. Both the traditional open and the newer laparoscopic approaches are described. However open meshplasty is still a very safe and effective method of treatment.

Lumbar hernias can be superior (Grynfelt) and inferior (Petit). Inferior lumbar hernias are extremely rare and, therefore, are associated with diagnostic difficulty. We present a case of a primary spontaneous inferior lumbar hernia in a 79-year-old woman that was initially diagnosed as a large lipoma on ultrasound. The first operation was abandoned and an open mesh repair was conducted.Lumbar hernias can be primary acquired (55%), secondary acquired (25%) or congenital (20%). Cross-sectional imaging by CT or MRI appears to be the gold standard in diagnosis as ultrasound may lead to misdiagnosis. Strangulation, incarceration and obstruction are recognised complications, requiring prompt surgical intervention. There are currently no guidelines for surgical managements, although laparoscopic surgery may give the best results. In view of the scarcity of published cases, we aim to add to the literature to raise the index of suspicion and to promote prompt surgical management of lumbar hernias.

Ventral hernia is a fascial defect located on the abdominal wall. Primary ventral hernias are named as umbilical, epigastric, spigelian and lumbar hernias. A lumbar hernia is a parietal wall defect that may occur anywhere in the lumbar region between the 12th rib and the iliac crest. A 47-year-old female, came with complaints of mass in left lower abdomen since 2 months. On clinical examination a defect of 8 × 8 cm was felt in the left lumbar region with positive cough impulse. CECT abdomen and pelvis was done to confirm lumbar hernia. Patient underwent mesh repair for the same. Lumbar and flank hernias are uncommon and are a challenge to treat for any general surgeon. Surgery is considered gold standard either an open mesh repair or laparoscopically.
