Abstract

Pararectal and obturator hernias are relatively rare and typically affect elderly emaciated women. They are difficult to diagnose preoperatively. A gynecologist may come across such hernias as a secondary finding during laparoscopy. Such findings are expected to increase with the aging population. We present two cases and the technique to treat them.
