Robotic Resection of Symptomatic Parasitic Leiomyoma From the Obturator Fossa

Patient is a 48-year old with history of total hysterectomy secondary to symptomatic leiomyomas. She was referred to our clinic with groin and right leg pain. She also had burning sensation on the medial aspect of the inner thigh. Pelvic MRI was obtained to further evaluate the etiology of her complaints which revealed a 3.3  cm mass in the obturator fossa. She was taken to the OR for robotic resection of the mass. Once retro-peritoneum was explored and obturator fossa was accessed, the mass was visualized compressing on the obturator nerve.
