Abstract
With very low reported incidence of 0.073% and 1.6% in western and Asian literature respectively, obturator hernia is a rare entity to encounter. Pre-operative diagnosis and timely management are key to survival. In this case report, we are presenting two cases of obstructed obturator hernia which were timely diagnosed pre-operatively high index of suspicion with Emergency exploratory laparotomy. A review of literature concluded that a high index of suspicion with the proper physical examination which is guided by appropriate cross-sectional imaging can be the only way to go in an attempt to prevent mortality and morbidity associated with Obturator hernia.
