INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to present and share experience with lumbar hernia repair.
METHODS: Between 2004 and 2013, 5 lumbar hernia repairs were performed. Mean follow-up period was 41 months, and no recurrence was encountered.
RESULTS: Following the repair, results were good with respect to body balance, but cosmetic results, even with laparoscopic approach, were questionable.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Lumbar hernia should be repaired, but results are not 100% reliable. Patients will have good results for body balance following the repair, but cosmetic results, even in laparoscopic approach, are less satisfactory.

Keywords: Lumbar, hernia, repair
