ABSTRACT=The authors specifically state that the surgical procedure suggested in our manuscript should not be considered a novel or experimental treatment strategy, but should be considered a pragmatic chosen variant of various regularly used treatment modalities. Although large studies on the specific treatment of lumbar hernia do not exist, the majority of technical aspects advocated in our manuscript can be extrapolated from well designed and adequately powered studies on the optimal treatment of other but somewhat similar hernias. Therefore, ethics approval or specific consent procedures were not required for this study, 2
