The obturator bypass effectively revascularizes lower extremities, especially for infected vascular prostheses. This surgical technique offers viable arterial continuity with reported 1- and 5-year patency rates of 72.7% and 56.9%.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Groin dissections can compromise lower extremity arterial supply.
  • Infected vascular prostheses pose a significant challenge in arterial reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the indications for obturator bypass.
  • To discuss the technical aspects of performing an obturator bypass.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of obturator bypass procedures.
  • Analysis of surgical techniques for revascularization.

Main Results:

  • Obturation bypass is indicated for managing hazardous groin dissections and infected prostheses.
  • Reported 1-year patency rate is 72.7%, and 5-year patency rate is 56.9%.

Conclusions:

  • Obturator bypass is a valuable technique for lower extremity revascularization.
  • The procedure is particularly useful for circumventing infected grafts.
