Overview
Pathophysiology
- Obturator foramen is a large, obliquely oriented opening, located at the anterior aspect of both sides of pelvis, bounded by parts of ischium and pubis.
- This hernia passes through the obturator foramen, following the path of the obturator nerve and blood vessels.
- Hernia passes through the following layers
- Obturator internus muscle fibres
- Obturator membrane
- Obturator externus muscle fibres
- Obturator hernias are more common on the right, presumably due to sigmoid colon on the left.
