Abstract
Lumbar hernia is a rare entity. It occurs through posterolateral abdominal wall defects. It can be congenital or acquired. We report a 60 years old female patient who presented to our hospital with a right upper lumbar hernia. She underwent repair with a new sandwich technique and had a smooth postoperative course. There is no recurrence during 1 year of follow up. It is a novel idea to strengthen the defect by new technique of sandwiching two prolenemesh between layers of abdomen.
