Identifying the Hernial Orifice in Superior Lumbar Hernia Repair by Utilizing Anatomical Landmarks on Preoperative CT

Superior lumbar hernias are extremely rare, and surgical repair is essential for their treatment. However, the direct observation of the hernial orifice is frequently difficult because the hernia disappears in prone or lateral positions, which is an issue when using the open approach. Therefore, usi...

description Superior lumbar hernias are extremely rare, and surgical repair is essential for their treatment. However, the direct observation of the hernial orifice is frequently difficult because the hernia disappears in prone or lateral positions, which is an issue when using the open approach. Therefore, using anatomical landmarks to detect the hernial orifice on preoperative CT scans may be useful for correct identification and visualization. Here, we report two cases of superior lumbar hernias successfully treated using the abovementioned method.
