Description
Summary:Multiple complicated concurrent hernias with obturator hernia and paraesophageal hernia unusually occur in clinical settings. The obturator hernias belong to a rare pelvic hernia that accounts for a minority of all abdominal hernias. Besides, paraesophageal hernias occur commonly in elderly female patients. Clinical manifestations of these hernias are usually unspecific and the diagnosis is based on computed tomography (CT). In this paper, we presented a case of multiple complicated hernias in an 81-year-old woman. She was admitted to our hospital due to intestinal obstruction that was caused by a simultaneous obturator and paraesophageal hernia. She was successfully treated by laparoscopic hernia repair. Postoperative progression was favorable. She was then discharged from the hospital after four hospital days.
