Radiographic and surgical findings of type I obturator hernias in patients with refractory groin pain
Groin pain is a common complaint in the general population, with an underlying etiology that may be difficult to diagnose. Although uncommon, type I obturator hernias may be a significant source of chronic or refractory groin pain. In this review, we discuss the commonly missed findings of type I obturator hernias at CT and MRI, as well as correlate these findings with images obtained at the time of laparoscopic repair.
