The pathology of disease

Obturator hernia is protrusion of bowel through the obturator canal, typically in elderly thin women, presenting with intestinal obstruction and pain radiating to inner thigh (Howship-Romberg sign), high risk of strangulation. Treatment: emergency surgical exploration (laparoscopic/open); NPO/IV fluids; bowel resection if ischemic/necrotic; hernia repair; antibiotics if compromised; ICU monitoring; early diagnosis reduces mortality; follow-up.

Common Symptoms

Intestinal obstruction; inner-thigh pain (Howship-Romberg); in elderly thin women

Causes and Pathogenesis

Obturator canal weakness allows bowel herniation and obstruction.

Treatment

Emergency surgery; bowel resection if necrotic; repair; ICU

Preventive Measures

Early diagnosis of unexplained obstruction in elderly women.
