Lumbar hernias are rare, and the diagnosis can be easily missed. Acquired lumbar occur spontaneously; however, they increasingly being reported due to trauma or flank surgery. A good history examination aid in with imaging confirming condition. Hernia repair laparoscopic through open surgical approaches. We report a case of primary spontaneous hernia which was managed by an approach close defec...

little information is at hand on the diagnostic values of the clinical symptoms and signs in the level diagnosis of patients with lower lumbar disc herniation.  we examined one hundred and thirty nine consecutive candidates for lower lumbar discectomy.  monoradicular pain with signs attributed to the fifth lumbar and first sacral root dysfunctions were evaluated independently in each patient.  ...

Lumbar hernia is a rare surgical entity without a standard method of repair. With advancements in laparoscopic techniques, successful lumbar herniorrhaphy can be achieved by the creation of a completely extraperitoneal working space and secure fixation of a wide posterior mesh. We present a total extraperitoneal laparoendoscopic repair of lumbar hernia, which allowed for minimal invasiveness wh...

STUDY DESIGN Prospective randomized and observational cohorts. OBJECTIVE To compare outcomes of patients with and without workers' compensation who had surgical and nonoperative treatment for a lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (IDH). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Few studies have examined the association between worker's compensation and outcomes of surgical and nonoperative treatment. ...

The understanding of lumbar spine pathologies made substantial progress at the turn of the twentieth century. The authors review the original publication of Otto Veraguth in 1929 reporting on the successful resection of a herniated lumbar disc, published exclusively in the German language. His early report is put into the historical context, and its impact on the understanding of pathologies of...

What was once a simple lumbar disc herniation treated with laminotomy and partial discectomy, with typically excellent results (25, 46), has evolved into a surprisingly complex clinical problem with a dazzling array of therapeutic alternatives. Much of this, of course, is based on clinical studies emphasizing the heterogeneity of disc disorders. Advances in biomechanics research focusing on the...

Two collagen type IX gene polymorphisms that introduce a tryptophan residue into the protein's triple-helical domain have been linked to an increased risk of lumbar disc disease. To determine whether a particular subset of symptomatic lumbar disease is specifically associated with these polymorphisms, we performed a prospective case-control study of 107 patients who underwent surgery of the lum...

BACKGROUND We present a case of a lumbar hernia and a review of the literature of this rare hernia type. CASE REPORT The case and the review will discuss the unusual presentations reported, common etiologies, the importance of early operative repair based on the high rate of incarceration and the recent recommendations regarding repair techniques. CONCLUSIONS Lumbar hernias are rare cases, ...
