Lumbar hernia is a rare pathology, representing less than 2% of hernias of the abdominal wall. Usually, it can be confused with other entities and despite an adequate physical examination it is difficult to suspect its presence. Surgical treatment is the reference standard; however, there is no established evidence in the literature regarding the best approach. Even this way, less trauma and faster clinical recovery make the laparoscopic approach preferred in these cases. The aim of this report is to describe the clinical case of an elderly patient with chronic low back pain in whom a lumbar hernia is documented, after which a surgical correction is indicated by a minimally invasive approach. Additionally, a brief review of the literature on the subject in question is carried out.
