Obturator hernia is a rarely diagnosed subgroup of hernias. These can be difficult to accurately identify in the initial stages of the patient’s clinical course. To avoid the high morbidity and mortality associated with this condition, it must be promptly diagnosed and treated. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of obturator hernia and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating patients with this condition. This activity will also look at the role of imaging modalities, and currently accepted techniques of treating such cases. Finally, there will be a look into more advanced techniques of treating these cases.
