Abstract

La fusión lumbar intersomática mediante abordaje lateral transpsoas (LLIF) es una técnica que permite realizar artrodesis lumbar de forma mínimamente invasiva. Es un abordaje en auge por su seguridad y baja tasa de complicaciones (<5%). Sin embargo, se han descrito casos de hernias incisionales en 1 de cada 100 pacientes sometidos a este a tipo de cirugía.
Aunque la causa sigue siendo desconocida, algunos autores señalan a la fascia transversal como elemento principal en la estabilidad estructural del retroperitoneo, por lo que una reparación deficiente de la misma derivará en eventraciones de la pared abdominal.
Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 62 años intervenida en nuestro centro por vía LLIF para artrodesis lumbar L2-S1. A los dos años de seguimiento postoperatorio debuta con una hernia incisional en la pared abdominal posterolateral izquierda que es tratada con éxito mediante eventroplastia laparoscópica.
