Résumé
We aimed describe the patient characteristics, surgical details, postoperative outcomes, and prevalence and incidence of obturator hernias. Obturator hernias are rare with high mortality and no consensus on the best surgical approach. Given their rarity, substantial data is lacking, especially related to postoperative outcomes. The study was based on data from the nationwide Danish Hernia Database. All adults who underwent obturator hernia surgery in Denmark during 1998-2023 were included. The primary outcomes were demographic characteristics, surgical details, postoperative outcomes, and the prevalence and incidence of obturator hernias. We included 184 obturator hernias in 167 patients (88% females) with a median age of 77 years. Emergency surgeries constituted 42% of repairs, and 72% were laparoscopic. Mesh was used in 77% of the repairs, with sutures exclusively used in emergency repairs. Concurrent groin hernias were found in 57% of cases. Emergency surgeries had a 30-day mortality of 14%, readmission rate of 21%, and median length of stay of 6 days. Elective surgeries had a 30-day mortality of 0%, readmission rate of 10%, and median length of stay of 0 days. The prevalence of obturator hernias in hernia surgery was 0.084% (95% CI: 0.071%-0.098%), with an incidence of one per 400,000 inhabitants annually. This was the largest cohort study to date on obturator hernias. They were rare, affected primarily elderly women. The method of repair depends on whether the presentation is acute, and emergency repair is associated with higher mortality.
