Abstract
Obturator hernia, a very rare type of abdominal hernia, presents diagnostic and management challenges, due to lack of exposure to such cases. We report a case of a 60-year-old lady, reluctant for surgery; the patient underwent successful surgical management via an open approach due to preoperative complication of intestinal obstruction. This case highlights the importance of tailored surgical strategies and vigilant post-operative care in managing obturator hernia, particularly in complex clinical scenarios.
