ABSTRACT

Obturator hernias are rare, and most cases present as incarcerated hernias. They can be repaired either transabdominally or extraperitoneally, by the conventional open method or a laparoscopic approach. We report our technique of transabdominal laparoscopic direct repair using a running barbed suture in 2 cases. Old age and bowel distention are not contraindications to laparoscopic repair.

Key Words: Barbed suture, Laparoscopy, Obturator hernia.
