Abstract
Lumbar hernias are a rare type of abdominal wall hernia with fewer than 300 cases reported in the literature over the last 300 years. The aetiology is overwhelmingly due to blunt abdominal trauma such as a motor vehicle collision. It may also arise due to surgery or infection. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment however the method of repair remains controversial and often provides a challenge for the surgeon. Laparoscopic vs. open repair as well as the type of mesh used (absorbable vs. non absorbable vs. biosynthetic) has not been well elucidated in the current literature.
