Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Obturator hernia is a rare surgical condition, with about 800 cases being reported in the literature. It can cause significant morbidity and mortality, especially in the elderly age group. Delayed treatment is associated with high rates of strangulation (25-100 %). The mainstay of management for obturator hernia has been surgical. Non-operative management can lead to significant morbidity and mortality, but may be an option in patients who decline surgery, as described in our case. |
