Abstract

Obturator hernia is a rare hernia in the world, diagnosed late since it has no specific symptoms and findings and generally occur in thin and old women with comorbidity.For this reason obturator hernia has high morbidity and mortality rates. In this study, we present an obturator hernia case that Howship-Romberg sign is positive and has typical appearance in computerized tomography. Laparotomy was performed on 89 years old female patient with body mass index 18.08 kg/m2 by low middle line incision. Following the segmentectomy to the strangulated small bowel loop, obturator canal is repaired by retroperitoneal application. No complication occurred in the postoperative period. Obturator hernia should be taken into consideration in old and thin female patients with intestinal obstruction. Computerized tomography should be performed for early diagnosis of the obturator hernia.

Özet

Obturator herni tüm dünyada nadir görülen, spesifik semptom ve bulgularının olmaması nedeni ile tanısı geciken, daha çok komorbiditesi olan yaşlı ve zayıf kadınlarda ortaya çıkan ve bu nedenlerle morbiditesi ve mortalitesi yüksek olan bir hernidir. Bu çalışmada Howship-Romberg işareti pozitif olan ve bilgisayarlı tomografide tipik görüntünün olduğu obturator herni vakasını sunuyoruz. 89 yaşında, body mass indeksi 18.08 kg/m2 olan kadın hastaya düşük orta hat insizyon ile laparotomi yapıldı. Strangüle olan ince barsak ansına segmentektomi yapıldıktan sonra obturator kanal retroperitoneal mesh tatbiki ile onarıldı. Postoperatif dönemde komplikasyon gelişmedi. İntestinal obstrüksiyonla gelen yaşlı ve zayıf kadın hastalarda obturator herni akılda tutulmalıdır. Erken tanı için bilgisayarlı tomografi çekilmelidir.
