Outcome and Follow up-
Following repair of her obturator hernia, the patient’s presenting
symptoms resolved.
Postoperatively, she was hospitalized in the ICU for four days due to
oxygen requirement. On day one, 300 cc of a bluish-green fluid was
drained from her NG tube. Her NG tube was taken out on day three. On day
four, she moved to the surgical ward, where she spent the next five
days. Multidisciplinary efforts of the surgical, medical, and
physiotherapy teams produced quick results.
