title: Obturator hernia repair--a new technique.
abstract: Obturator hernia is a rare condition with few reports in the world literature. There appears to be no consensus on the ideal approach and repair for such a condition. We report a simple, quick technique via a lower midline incision using an autogenous peritoneal fold. It is ideal for the contaminated case and in settings where mesh is not readily available.
