Abstract

Obturator hernia is rare pelvic hernia difficult to diagnose clinically because of non specific symptoms and obscure physical findings. Delayed diagnosis, frequent complications leads to significant mortality. Use of computerised tomography in diagnosis and early repair either suture based or mesh placement depending on circumstances is associated with good outcome.
