          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción: La hernia lumbar de pared abdominal congénita es una condición rara, existen alrededor de 50 casos publicados en la literatura inglesa; se clasifican según su sitio anatómico de aparición: en triángulo lumbar superior e inferior. Caso clínico: Paciente masculino, 6 años de edad, presenta masa en región lumbar izquierda, congénita, reducible, tamaño de 10 x 8 cm. El ultrasonido abdominal mostró defecto herniario compatible con hernia de Petit congénita. Se realizó reducción del saco herniario con plastía anterior y colocación de malla protésica en el defecto. Discusión: El triángulo de Grynfelt-Lesshaft es más grande y constante que el de Petit, este último representa el lugar menos común de localización. Se describen varias técnicas de reparación, pero la hernioplastía anterior es la más recomendada. Conclusiones: La hernia lumbar debe considerarse como diagnóstico diferencial en todo recién nacido que presenta masa en flanco izquierdo o derecho al nacimiento, con presencia o ausencia de otra malformación. El diagnóstico temprano evita complicaciones y permite el tratamiento oportuno, ofreciendo una mejor calidad de vida al paciente.

          Introduction: The abdominal wall congenital lumbar hernia is a rare condition, There are around 50 cases describe in the English literature. These are classified according to their anatomical site of appearance, upper or lower lumbar triangle. Case presentation: A 6-year-old male patient presented congenital left mass in the lumbar region, reductible, size 10 x 8 cm; during abdominal ultrasound, hernia was compatible with Petits congenital hernia. A reduction of the hernial sack with anterior plasty and placement of the prosthetic mesh at the defect site was performed. Discussion: The triangle of Grynfelt-Lesshaft, is larger and more constant than the triangle of Petit, the latter represents the least common location. Several repair techniques are described, but anterior hernioplasty is the most recommended. Conclusion: Lumbar hernia should be considered as a differential diagnosis in all newborns with protruding mass on the left or right flank at birth, accompanied or not by another obvious or non-evident malformation. Early diagnosis avoids possible complications and allows for opportune treatment, allowing the patient a better lifestyle.

          Laparoscopic repair of a lumbar hernia: report of a case and extensive review of the literature.

          Lumbar hernias are a protrusion of intra-abdominal contents through a weakness or rupture in the posterior abdominal wall. They are considered to be a rare entity with approximately 300 cases reported in the literature since it was first described by Barbette in 1672. Petit described the inferior lumbar triangle in 1783 and Grynfeltt described the superior lumbar triangle in 1866; both are anatomical boundaries where 95% of lumbar hernias occur, whereas the other 5% are considered to be diffuse. Twenty percent of lumbar hernias are congenital and the other 80% are acquired; the acquired lumbar hernias can be further classified into either primary (spontaneous) or secondary. The typical presentation of lumbar hernias is a patient with a protruding semispherical bulge in the back with a slow growth. However, they may present with an incarcerated or strangulated bowel, so it is recommended that all lumbar hernias must be repaired as soon as they are diagnosed. The "gold standard" for diagnosing a lumbar hernia is a CT scan, because it is able to delineate muscular and fascial layers, detect a defect in one or more of these layers, evaluate the presence of herniated contents, differentiate muscle atrophy from a real hernia, and serve as a useful tool in the differential diagnosis, such as tumors. Recent studies have demonstrated the advantages of a laparoscopic repair instead of the classic open approach as the ideal treatment option for lumbar hernias. We report a case of a spontaneous lumbar hernia initially diagnosed as a lipoma and corrected with the open approach, but after relapsing 2 years later it was corrected using a laparoscopic approach. It is followed by an extensive review of lumbar hernias literature regarding history, anatomy, and surgical techniques.

              Grynfelt hernia: case report and literature review.

              Back lumbar hernia is a rare abdominal wall defect that usually presents spontaneously after trauma or lumbar surgery or, less frequently, during infancy (congenital). Few reports have been published in the literature describing primary lumbar hernia. A general surgeon will have the opportunity to repair only one or a few lumbar hernia cases in his/her lifetime. We report a case of a healthy 50-year-old man, with no previous surgeries or history of trauma, who presented to the outpatient department with abdominal discomfort, pain, and a sensation of a growing mass on his lower left back for 4 years. CT scan of the abdomen showed a mass in the left posterolateral abdominal wall. Specifically, a herniation of retroperitoneal fat between the erector spinae muscle group and internal oblique muscles through aponeurosis of the transversalis muscle (Grynfeltt hernia). The patient underwent a small lumbotomy, polypropylene mesh was placed and he recovered well. Although many techniques have been described for the surgical management of such hernias, none of them can be recommended as the preferred method. Our impression, however, is that the open approach, with a small lumbotomy, seems to be easy, safe and presents good postoperative recovery.
