Core Tip

Core tip: This study reports the successful implementation of a transabdominal preperitoneal procedure with self-gripping mesh for the management of a bilateral lumbar hernia.

The findings confirm the safety and feasibility of the technique, and support the application of the laparoscopic approach for bilateral lumbar hernia repair.
