Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Obturator hernia is a rare condition, comprising less than 1% of abdominal wall hernias.
  • It presents diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific signs and symptoms.

Observation:

  • A case of an 89-year-old female presenting with right medial thigh pain.
  • Computed tomography revealed an obturator hernia causing small bowel obstruction.

Findings:

  • Successful laparoscopic repair of the obturator hernia was performed.
  • The patient experienced an uneventful recovery, discharged on postoperative day 2.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the necessity of prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention for obturator hernias.
  • Laparoscopic repair is a safe and effective approach for obturator hernias, even in the elderly.
