RESUMO
Petit's lumbar hernia is an uncommon defect of the posterior abdominal wall that represents less than 1 percent of all abdominal wall hernias. It is more often unilateral and founded in young females, rarely containing a real herniated sac. There are two different approaches to repair: laparoscopy and open surgery. The goal of this article is to report one case of spontaneous bilateral lumbar Petit's hernia treated with open surgery.
