Abstract:
An obturator hernia is an extremely rare type of hernia with a comparatively high mortality and morbidity rate. Early diagnosis of the disease is quite challenging as the signs and symptoms are very unspecific.1 Despite being a type of hernia, it is still a significant cause of intestinal obstruction, particularly in emaciated elderly women, and a diagnostic challenge for Surgeons.2 We report a case of 67 years old female who presented with symptoms of subacute small bowel obstruction and was diagnosed with an obstructed obturator hernia by CECT abdomen. Thus, CECT scan is a valuable asset in establishing a preoperative diagnosis for the same.3 Laparoscopic-assisted reduction and repair was done with resection of incarcerated perforated bowel loop with end-to-end small bowel anastomosis done, by exteriorizing the perforated bowel loop.3,7
