A Rare Case of Superior Lumbar Hernia - A Case Report with Review of Literature
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Lumbar hernia is a rare abdominal hernia and clinical suspicion is necessary for diagnosis. This unusual situation is relatively a rare defect of the posterior abdominal wall. We report the case of a 41-year-old gentleman with a reducible superior lumbar hernia. The hernia was repaired with prolene mesh. A lumbar or flank mass should always raise suspicion of a lumbar hernia. Adequate surgical treatment should be planned on the basis of etiology and hernia size.
