  ABSTRACT: Lumbar hernia is a protrusion of intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal tissues through posterior abdominal wall defect and is considered to be a rare condition. We present a case of 65-year-old lady with primary spontaneous superior lumbar hernia treated laparoscopically, with the detailed operative steps and post-operative follow-up. With the growing experience in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, same technique, instruments and device used in transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair can be applied to treat selected cases of lumbar hernia with good outcome.
