Abstract

Lumbar hernias are rare. Usually manifest with reducible volume increase in the post-lateral region of the abdomen and may occur in two specific anatomic defects: the triangles of Grynfelt (upper) and Petit (lower). Despite controversies with better repair, laparoscopic approach, following the same principle of the treatment of inguinal hernias, seems to present significant advantages compared to conventional/open surgeries. However, some technical and anatomical details of the region, non usual to general surgeons, are fundamental for proper repair. To present systematization of laparoscopic transabdominal technique for repair of lumbar hernias with emphasis on anatomical details. : Patient is placed in the lateral decubitus. Laparoscopic access to abdominal cavity is performed by open technique on the left flank, 1.5 cm incision, followed by introduction of 11 mm trocar for a 30º scope. Two other 5 mm trocars, in the left anterior axillary line, are inserted into the abdominal cavity. The peritoneum of the left paracolic gutter is incised from the 10th rib to the iliac crest. Peritoneum and retroperitoneal is dissected. Reduction of all hernia contents is performed to demonstrate the hernia and its size. A 10x10 cm polypropylene mesh is introduced into the retroperitoneal space and fixed with absorbable staples covering the defect with at least 3-4 cm overlap. Subsequently, is carried out the closure of the peritoneum of paracolic gutter. This technique was used in one patient with painful increased volume in the left lower back and bulging on the left lumbar region. CT scan was performed and revealed left superior lumbar hernia. Operative time was 45 min and there were no complications and hospitalization time of 24 h. As in inguinal hernia repair, laparoscopic approach is safe and effective for the repair of lumbar hernias, especially if the anatomical details are adequately respected. As hérnias lombares são raras. Geralmente se manifestam com aumento de volume redutível na região póstero-lateral do abdome e podem ocorrer em dois defeitos anatômicos específicos: os triângulos de Grynfelt (superior) e Petit (inferior). Apesar de controvérsias com relação a melhor forma de reparo, a abordagem laparoscópica, seguindo o mesmo princípio do tratamento das hérnias inguinais, parece apresentar vantagens significativas em relação às operações convencionais/abertas. Entretanto, alguns detalhes técnicos e anatômicos desta região, não usual aos cirurgiões gerais, são fundamentais para o adequado reparo. Apresentar sistematização da técnica laparoscópica transabdominal para a correção das hérnias lombares com ênfase nos detalhes anatômicos. Paciente é colocado em decúbito lateral. O acesso laparoscópico à cavidade abdominal é realizado pela técnica aberta no flanco esquerdo, incisão de 1,5 cm, seguida pela introdução de trocárteres de 11 mm para ótica de 30º. Dois outros trocárteres de 5 mm, na linha axilar anterior esquerda, são inseridos na cavidade abdominal. O peritônio da goteira paracólica esquerda é incisado desde a 10ª costela até a crista ilíaca. O peritônio e o retroperitoneal são dissecados. A redução de todo o conteúdo de hérnia é realizada para demonstrar a hérnia e seu tamanho. Tela de polipropileno de 10x10 cm é introduzida no espaço retroperitoneal e fixada com grampos absorvíveis cobrindo o defeito com pelo menos 3-4 cm de sobreposição. Posteriormente, realiza-se o fechamento do peritônio da goteira paracólica. Esta técnica foi utilizada em um paciente com aumento doloroso de volume na região lombar esquerda e abaulamento na região lombar esquerda. Tomografia computadorizada foi realizada e revelou hérnia lombar superior esquerda. O tempo operatório foi de 45 min e não houve complicações; o tempo de hospitalização de 24 h. Assim como no reparo das hérnias inguinais, a abordagem laparoscópica é segura e efetiva para as hérnias lombares, especialmente se os detalhes anatômicos forem adequadamente respeitados.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 May 2017.
All research outputs
#22,764,772
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from ABCD. Arquivos Brasileiros de Cirurgia Digestiva (São Paulo)
#177
of 291 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#362,560
of 421,709 outputs
Outputs of similar age from ABCD. Arquivos Brasileiros de Cirurgia Digestiva (São Paulo)
#11
of 24 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 291 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 421,709 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 24 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
