== '''Anatomy/pathophysiology''' == * Obturator canal - 1cm wide, 2-3cm long tunnel between obturator externus and internus muscles * Obturator foramen - space between pubic rami and ischial bones, covered by obturator membrane in all but anterior superior aspect * Obturator nerve, artery and vein travel through the canal. Nerve divides into anterior and posterior branches within the canal * Obturator hernia is a protrusion through the obturator canal and foramen ** Develops through a widening defect of the obturator externus and internus muscles, coursing along either anterior or posterior branch of nerve ** Symptoms occur more commonly with compression of anterior branch
