Abstract
We present a case of an 84-year-old woman with nonstrangulated, reduci ble obturator hernia treated with laparoscopic total extraperitoneal p rosthetic hernia repair. Preoperative diagnosis was made based on the clinical findings. The patient's postoperative recovery has been uneve ntful, without complications. When a nonstrangulated obturator hernia is diagnosed preoperatively, this procedure is likely to be successful .
