- Surgical Innovation
- Gastroenterology
- Urology
Background:
- Obturator hernias are uncommon, with bladder herniation being exceptionally rare (14 reported cases).
- Laparoscopic surgery increases incidental detection of obturator hernias.
- This case details a rare obturator bladder hernia in a 74-year-old female.
