Laparoscopic repair of a traumatic lumbar hernia: a case report

A J Burick et al. J Laparoendosc Surg. 1996 Aug.

Abstract

Lumbar hernia is an uncommon flank hernia and a rare complication of blunt trauma. We present a case of acute lumbar hernia as a direct result of blunt trauma. Traditionally, exploratory laparotomy with open repair is indicated, but we report a case of a traumatic lumbar hernia explored and repaired laparoscopically.
