This study presents three strangulated obturator hernia cases, detailing a novel surgical technique using bladder wall tissue. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are crucial for reducing high mortality rates associated with this condition.

Area of Science:

Surgical techniques
Gastrointestinal surgery
Urology

Background:

Obturator hernias are rare abdominal wall defects.
Strangulation presents a surgical emergency with high morbidity and mortality.
Nonspecific symptoms often lead to delayed diagnosis.

Observation:

Presents three cases of strangulated obturator hernia.
Two patients underwent a novel repair using the urinary bladder wall to cover the hernial orifice.
Literature review on obturator hernia management.

Findings:

The novel technique involving urinary bladder wall reconstruction was successfully applied in two cases.
Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are critical for favorable outcomes.
Delayed surgical treatment significantly increases mortality risk.

Implications:

The presented technique offers a potential new approach for obturator hernia repair.
Highlights the importance of considering obturator hernia in patients with unexplained abdominal or thigh pain.
Emphasizes the need for heightened clinical suspicion and timely surgical management to improve patient survival rates.
