Laparoscopic lumbar hernia repair in a child with lumbocostovertebral syndrome

Sarah L Jones et al. J Laparoendosc Adv Surg Tech A. 2010 Feb.

Abstract

Lumbocostovertebral syndrome is the association of a congenital lumbar hernia with rib and vertebral anomalies. We report the first case of a laparoscopic repair of a lumbar hernia in a child with lumbocostovertebral syndrome. Laparoscopic lumbar hernia repair appears to be safe and feasible in children.
