Introduction: Incisional hernias due to iliac crest graft extraction are very rare. Some authors incorrectly classify them as lumbar hernias.
Case Report: We present a case diagnosed after clinical suspicion and computed tomography (CT) imaging. Surgical repair was carried out through an open extraperitoneal approach with two polypropylene meshes, one of them fixed through the iliac bone.
Conclusion: Transiliac hernias are difficult to repair, as the hernia ring is within the bone. We consider that the reparation described is extremely secure and may avoid recurrence.
Keywords: Incisional hernia, Polypropylene mesh, Transiliac hernia
