Abstract
Obturator hernia is an internal abdominal hernia in the pelvis, which is very rare in the practice of a surgeon. This hernia is more common in elderly women. The incidence varies but is approximately 0.05-0.07% of all hernias. Obturator hernias present a diagnostic challenge because signs and symptoms are often non-specific, making preoperative diagnosis difficult. They require high vigilance and caution in surgical treatment as many of these patients are elderly with the presence of comorbidities. Reports on the treatment modality, will benefit the surgical community regarding the management of obturator hernias. We present a rare case of recurrent obturator hernia causing recurrent small bowel obstruction in a 63- year-old woman.
