Article Abstract
Purpose: This retrospective cohort study aims to compare perioperative outcomes between laparoscopic and open surgical repair of obturator hernia, a rare but clinically significant abdominal wall hernia.
Methods: We analyzed 13 consecutive patients with CT-confirmed obturator hernia causing small bowel obstruction (2017-2023). Six underwent open repair and seven received laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair with mesh. Outcomes included operative time, blood loss, hospitalization duration, and CRP levels.
Results: Laparoscopic repair significantly reduced hospitalization duration (median 7 vs. 13 days; P = 0.049) and postoperative inflammation (CRP 10.66 vs. 79.07 mg/L; P = 0.003), with less blood loss (10 vs. 30 mL; P = 0.001). No recurrences occurred during 12-month follow-up.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic obturator hernia repair demonstrates advantages in reducing hospital stay, minimizing surgical trauma, and attenuating systemic inflammatory response as compared to open approach. However, larger multicenter studies are warranted to validate these findings given the limited sample size.

Obturator hernia is a rare but clinically significant cause of intestinal obstruction, particularly in elderly, thin women due to their anatomical predisposition. We present the case of a 79-year-old female with a history of hypertension and hip arthroplasty who developed acute abdominal pain, vomiting, and absence of flatus and bowel movements. Imaging with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a right obturator hernia containing a small bowel loop, causing intestinal obstruction without signs of ischemia.

Introduction And Importance: Obturator hernia is a relatively rare type of abdominal hernia, characterized by protrusion of abdominal contents through the obturator canal, a condition that can lead to small bowel obstruction. It is characterized by distinct clinical presentation.

The preoperative diagnosis of intestinal necrosis in strangulated small-bowel obstruction (SBO) is clinically important because it is prognostically relevant. The current study assessed the predictors of preoperative intestinal necrosis in strangulated SBO. This retrospective single-center study included 75 consecutive patients undergoing surgery for strangulated SBO.

A male in his early 70s presented with complaints of bilateral flank pain for seven months, hematuria for 2 days along with the passage of clots associated with an increased frequency of urination and nocturia. The patient had a history of deep vein thrombosis and was on anticoagulation. On ultrasound, multiple calculi with posterior acoustic shadowing were seen in bilateral kidneys, corroborated by (CT) urography.
