An unusual case of early-stage obturator hernia causing bowel obstruction and strangulation

Obturator hernia is rare, contributing to less than 2% of the total incidence of small bowel obstructions. The diagnosis of obturator hernia is still a big challenge today. Abdominopelvic Computed Tomography scans have better diagnostic value preoperatively, showing the bowel loop between the pectin...
