Hernia10
  • Obturator hernia is a very rare form of hernia. (symptoma.com)
  • Obturator hernia has an incidence of 0.07-1% of all forms of hernias and accounts for 0.2-1.6% of all cases with mechanical obstruction of the small bowel. (symptoma.com)
  • Obturator hernia is sometimes referred to as "little old lady's hernia" because it mostly affects elderly females due to atrophy of preperitoneal fat surrounding obturator vessels in the obturator canal. (symptoma.com)
  • Obturator hernia generally presents as acute intestinal obstruction . (symptoma.com)
  • The hernia sac follows the path of obturator nerves and muscles by passing through the foramen obturatum [1] [2]. (symptoma.com)
  • It is pathognomic of obturator hernia and is observed in 15-50% of cases. (symptoma.com)
  • When a patient presents with obstruction of the small bowel and intermittent symptoms with medial thigh pain, obturator hernia must be suspected. (symptoma.com)
  • One wonders if patients who lose significant weight are also at increased risk of obturator hernia. (symptoma.com)
  • An obturator hernia is most often present in women older than 70 who have recently experienced sudden weight loss . (symptoma.com)
  • The hernia may be felt as a tender swelling in the region of the obturator foramen on vaginal or rectal examination. (symptoma.com)
Foramen3
  • The obturator vein travels between the adductor region of the thigh and the internal iliac vein entering the pelvis through the obturator foramen , along with the obturator artery and obturator nerve . (radiopaedia.org)
  • It leaves the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen, below the piriformis, and runs down in front of the sciatic nerve, the gemelli, and the tendon of the obturator internus, then enters the anterior surfaces of the quadratus femoris and gemellus inferior muscles. (medscape.com)
  • This nerve then crosses the ischial spine, enters the perineum through the lesser sciatic foramen, and pierces the pelvic surface of the obturator internus muscle. (medscape.com)
Internus muscle3
  • The appendix may come into physical contact with the obturator internus muscle, which will be stretched when this maneuver is performed on the right leg. (freemedicalvideos.com)

Selective obturator nerve block6
  • Selective obturator nerve block was first described by Labat in 1922. (aneskey.com)
  • When deemed necessary, addition of a selective obturator nerve block may reduce intraoperative discomfort, improve tourniquet tolerance, and improve the quality of postoperative analgesia in these cases. (aneskey.com)
  • 12 - 16 However, a selective obturator nerve block remains the safest and most effective alternative to this problem. (aneskey.com)
  • It can be suppressed only by a selective obturator nerve block. (aneskey.com)
  • Selective obturator nerve block has also been used in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain states secondary to knee arthrosis or pelvic tumors resistant to conventional analgesic approaches. (aneskey.com)
  • In fact, research strongly suggests that the obturator reflex is not prevented by spinal anesthesia and can only be suppressed by a selective obturator nerve block. (londonpainclinic.com)
Esophageal obturator airway2
  • A comparison of esophageal obturator airway ® (EOA ® ) and endotracheal tube (ET) ventilation was performed while standardizing the method of oxygen delivery and assuring true sampling of arterial blood. (umn.edu)

  • In this study, trans-obturator tape placement was found to be a safe, effective and low-complication method. (ac.ir)
Prosthesis3
  • An obturator is a dental prosthesis used in patients who have suffered trauma to the roof of the mouth or have undergone surgery that has left a void or hole in the palate. (globaldentalsolutions.com)
  • The design of an obturator can improve the esthetics of the prosthesis and give it a more lifelike appearance. (agd.org)
  • This case report describes the fabrication of a cast metal framework design for a partial obturator prosthesis in a maxillectomy patient. (agd.org)
Hernias1
  • Physical examination can help exclude incarcerated umbilical, inguinal, femoral triangle, and obturator foramina hernias. (medscape.com)
Femoral2
  • 4 In 1973, Winnie introduced the concept of the "3-in-1 block," an anterior approach to the lumbar plexus using a simple paravascular inguinal injection to anesthetize the femoral, lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh and obturator nerves. (aneskey.com)
  • 6 - 9 A number of diagnostic or therapeutic procedures on the knee and thigh can be performed by combining obturator nerve block with block of the sciatic, lateral cutaneous nerve and femoral nerves. (aneskey.com)

Palatal5
  • Our capable team produces a wide range of restoration products, including fixed detachables , dental implants , and even palatal obturators at our Atlanta, GA laboratory. (globaldentalsolutions.com)
  • Palatal obturators can be used to help patients with a number or dental issues. (globaldentalsolutions.com)
  • Palatal obturators should not to be confused with palatal lifts or other prosthetic devices such as speech bulbs. (globaldentalsolutions.com)
  • A speech bulb, which is often confused with a palatal obturator, contains a pharyngeal section, which goes behind the soft palate. (globaldentalsolutions.com)
  • An obturator is commonly used to help improve and recover speech in patients with a palatal fistula or a hole in the mouth. (globaldentalsolutions.com)
Nerves4
  • The ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, genitofemoral, obturator, and pudendal nerves are the major sensory nerves that may be involved in chronic groin and genital pain with a significant impact on the quality of life of patients . (bvsalud.org)
  • In this pictorial assay, we review the anatomy and clinical relevance of the ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, genitofemoral, obturator, and pudendal nerves . (bvsalud.org)

  • This paper is aimed to serve as a practical technical guide for physicians to familiarize themselves with the ultrasound anatomy of the major inguinal sensory nerves and to enable successful ultrasound identification and ultrasound-guided diagnostic or therapeutic infiltrations for pain management of the ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, genitofemoral, obturator, and pudendal nerves . (bvsalud.org)
Blockade2
  • However, with the introduction of modern nerve stimulators, selective blockade of the obturator nerve has become more reliable and has seen a resurgence of interest in recent times. (aneskey.com)
  • Patient refusal, inguinal lymphadenopathy, perineal infection, or hematoma at the needle insertion site are typical contraindications to obturator nerve blockade. (aneskey.com)
Adductor4
  • Spasticity of the adductor muscle induced via the obturator nerve plays a major role in associated pain problems and makes patient grooming and mobilization very difficult. (aneskey.com)
  • Direct stimulation of the obturator nerve by the resector as it passes in close proximity to the bladder wall results in a sudden, violent adductor muscle spasm. (aneskey.com)
  • Preexisting obturator neuropathy, clinically manifested by groin pain, pain of the posteromedial aspect at the thigh and occasionally paresis of the adductor group of muscles, are relative contraindications to this block. (aneskey.com)
  • Experts suggest that the obturator nerve is a mixed nerve, which in most cases, provides motor function to the adductor muscles and cutaneous sensation to a small area behind the knee. (londonpainclinic.com)
Puncture1

Abolished by spinal anesthesia1
  • The obturator reflex is not abolished by spinal anesthesia. (aneskey.com)
Surgically1
Thigh2
  • The hernial sac compresses and irritates the obturator nerve in the canal leading to medial thigh pain radiating down to the medial aspect of the knee and less frequently to the hip due to compression of the anterior division, a sign known as the Howship- Romberg sign. (symptoma.com)
  • The obturator nerve supplies a small, variable amount of skin on the medial aspect of the knee and lower thigh. (londonpainclinic.com)
