ABSTRACT
An 80-year-old woman presented to our emergency department with vomiting which had begun half a day prior to presentation. She had undergone open mesh plug repair for a right obturator hernia 1 year prior to presentation. Computed tomography detected recurrence of the right obturator hernia. Since intestinal viability was maintained, manual reduction of the incarcerated intestine was performed. The patient was admitted to our department to monitor delayed intestinal perforation. Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair for obturator hernia was performed 5 days after admission. A self-fixating mesh was placed over the obturator hernia defect and femoral ring without tacking. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 6 without postoperative complications. At the 4-month follow-up, no signs of hernia recurrence or neuropathy were observed. Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair for recurrent obturator hernia status post-open mesh plug repair by using self-fixating mesh is a safe and suitable procedure.
