| Popis: | Obturator hernia is a rare variety of pelvic hernia. Preoperative diagnosis is still uncommon and influences treatment and prognosis. Clinical suspicion and tomography are fundamental for establishing a preoperative diagnosis. Subsequently, elective treatment via the total extraperitoneal laparoscopic approach seems to offer the best results for both the patient and the hospital. This management might reduce the high rates of associated morbidity and mortality. We present the case of a patient with chronic pelvic pain after hernia surgery in whom tomography confirmed the existence of a bilateral obturator hernia. Details are given of diagnostic and therapeutic management using ambulatory total extraperitoneal laparoscopy. We recommend ruling out obturator hernia as a possible cause of chronic pain after hernia repair. |
