Abstract
Introduction: Lumbar hernia, also known as lumbar triangle hernia, is a rare type of abdominal wall hernia in clinical practice, so it is difficult to diagnose because it is rarely thought of. The treatment is mainly based on surgery. Open surgery to close the abdominal wall cleft was a classical treatment in the past. Laparoscopic surgery has the potential to substitute open surgery.

Viet Duc University Hospital in April 2023. After the surgery, the patient recovered well. There were no postoperative complications as well as recurrence recorded.
Conclusion: Lumbar hernia is a rare condition often challenging to diagnose clinically because it is not considered. Surgical treatment is preferred and gives good results. Laparoscopic surgery with mesh repair to reduce the disadvantages of open surgery.
