Strangulated lumbar hernias are rare but can cause serious complications. This case shows that prompt surgical repair based on clinical evaluation is vital for patient survival, especially in limited-resource settings.
Area of Science:
- Surgery
- Gastroenterology
Background:
- Lumbar hernias are uncommon surgical conditions.
- They can present asymptomatically or with severe complications like obstruction and strangulation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a case of strangulated lumbar hernia.
- To highlight diagnostic challenges and the effectiveness of timely surgical intervention.
Main Methods:
- A 45-year-old woman presented with acute symptoms of a strangulated lumbar hernia.
- Emergency surgical exploration via a lumbar incision was performed due to limited imaging access.
- Resection of non-viable small bowel with primary anastomosis and fascial defect repair.
Main Results:
- A non-viable segment of small bowel was identified and resected.
- The patient recovered well with no complications.
- No recurrence was observed at the 1-year follow-up.
Conclusions:
- Strangulated lumbar hernias present diagnostic challenges.
- Timely open surgical repair based on clinical assessment is crucial and can be life-saving, particularly in resource-limited environments.
