Abstract:
The obturator bypass operation is not a common procedure. In 1963, Shaw and Baue first described performing bypass surgery through the obturator foramen as a technique to deal with infected arterial prostheses in the groin. This operation has been used to reconstruct patients with groin infection, irradiation ulcer, mycotic aneurysm, trauma and excessive scar tissue in the femoral region. We experienced one case of transobturator foramen bypass surgery from a Dacron iliac limb to the popliteal artery.
