Lumbar hernia is defined as the presence of failure in the transverse fascia or in the aponeurosis of the transverse abdominal muscle that results in the extrusion of intra or extra peritoneal organs through the discontinuity of the postero lateral abdominal wall. The aim of this study was to conduct a methodical review of the anatomy of the hernia form grynfelt dated from 1985 to 2016. For this, we performed a bibliographic review through electronic databases like SciELO, PubMed, Science Direct, LILACS and Bireme to get better approach to the subject. It has been found that the lumbar hernia is a disease little known by doctors whose diagnostics are often performed in the wrong way and for surgical correction needs a good anatomical knowledge. Lumbar hernias, although rare, must be taken into account, since ischemia of herniated intestinal segments can lead to the death of the patient, especially in the elderly. Knowledge about the anatomy of the lumbar region is of vital importance because it makes surgery safe and reduces risks of complications and recidivating of the hernia.

Body painting is an important tool in the process of teaching and learning anatomy in undergraduate courses, being a valuable tool in the construction of knowledge mainly in places with corpse acquisition deficiencies for the anatomical study. This technique has been seen as a method to improve learning in the teaching of anatomy, since it is not restricted only to the organ expressed in the drawing, but also its topographic location of the organs. Based on these premises the objective of this work was to investigate if body painting promotes significant learning of human anatomy. For this, a descriptive exploratory study with a quantitative approach was carried out through the application of a semistructured questionnaire with 80 students from three health sciences courses during two consecutive semesters. The data were statistically analyzed using the square test and the Kruskal Wallis test using the Graph Pad Prism version 6.0 software. The data presented a value of p <0.05. The values obtained for each group were expressed in median ± e.p. It was found that there was no statistically significant difference in age. It was found that 95% of the students preferred teaching with body painting while 5% preferred the traditional one. Regarding the adequacy of the learning objectives 3.08 ± 0.6337 (score from 0 to 5) stated that the objectives were achieved. It was observed that 100% of students consider painting promote meaningful learning. When analyzing the consideration of the interviewees about the importance of bodypaint for the construction of knowledge, an expressive result was observed regarding the use of this methodology, being approved by 97% of the students. It can be observed that body paint has great potential as a tool for teaching anatomy, since it stimulates and promotes the learning process, revealing as a positive and useful educational experience for these subjects. Thus, it is important to incorporate this technique as a routine teaching method, in view of the satisfactory results observed in the study and the provided educational aid.Support or Funding InformationUFCThis abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2018 Meeting.
