  • Title: Laparoscopic repair of obturator bladder hernia: a case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Velásquez-López JG, Gil FG, Jaramillo FE.
    Journal: J Endourol; 2008 Feb; 22(2):361-4. PubMed ID: 18211207.
    Abstract:
    Hernias through the obturator foramen are rare and are difficult to diagnose. They usually appear in elderly women, have an atypical presentation, and are associated with high mortality. The most frequently compromised organ is the small bowel. Hernias that involve the small bowel are often associated with intestinal obstruction and secondary necrosis. Several techniques and approaches have been described for management. We present a case of bladder hernia through the obturator foramen that we repaired laparoscopically by placing a mesh plug, a management option we find safe, fast, and effective.
