This case report details an asymptomatic obturator hernia, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and surgical intervention for better patient survival outcomes.

Area of Science:

General Surgery
Anatomy
Clinical Medicine

Background:

Obturator hernias are rare abdominal wall hernias.
They often present with vague or atypical symptoms, leading to delayed diagnosis.

Observation:

A case of asymptomatic obturator hernia is presented.
The report reviews the anatomical, physiopathological, and clinical principles of obturator hernias.

Findings:

A novel classification system for obturator hernias is proposed, categorizing them by development, sac descent, anatomical connections, and clinical evolution.
Early diagnosis and surgical treatment are crucial for preventing complications.

Implications:

This classification may aid in understanding and managing obturator hernias.
