“…Mesh reconstruction is now the gold standard for hernia treatment but often results in recurrent hernias or necessitates additional treatment due to foreign body infection 17,18) . In cases of repetitive recurrence after mesh reconstruction, concomitant infection, and large defects, alternative reconstruction methods include fasciocutaneous flaps, including tensor fascia lata flaps and fascia lata autografts [19][20][21] .…”

Traumatic lumbar hernia is a rare condition, and there is no consensus regarding its treatment. Although direct closure or mesh reconstruction is preferred for the treatment of traumatic abdominal wall hernias, we successfully repaired a traumatic lumbar hernia using a fascia lata autograft in an acute setting. A 55-year-old man experienced traumatic inferior lumbar hernia after being caught in heavy machinery. Emergency laparotomy was performed to rule out intra-abdominal organ injury and simultaneous repair of the lumbar hernia was planned. Owing to the high degree of tissue contusion around the hernia, hernia repair was performed using a fascia lata autograft rather than an artificial mesh, given the concerns surrounding secondary adverse events. The patient did not experience any major postoperative complications or recurrence. This is the first report to discuss the use of a fascia lata autograft as a repair material in a patient with acute traumatic lumbar hernia.
