Hi yes! I mean a superior or inferior lumbar hernia, not a flank hernia. I am curious about the anatomy because I feel like given the fact that most tests are laying on your back, it can pop back in and be missed by the radiologist. If a patient presents with a reduceable mass and swelling in the area and clinical symptoms like inability to pass gas (but not a complete bowel blockage), would a surgeon ever agree to do a diagnostic surgery even if it didn’t show up on CT clearly?
