Incidentally found obturator hernias during totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair: a single-center experience.

The TEP inguinal hernioplasty allows the detection and repair of incidental obturator hernia. Through thorough inspection of the obturator canal, an asymptomatic obturator hernia can be detected and adequately treated within the same procedure, without the impact on the surgery duration, when performed by an experienced hernia surgeon.
