Brief Answer:
You can wait and watch.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
In my 17years of general surgical experience, I have seen only 1 case of Obdurator hernia. It is very rare hernia.
The patient presented with intestinal obstruction with complaints of Distension of abdomen, vomiting and constipation. Surgery was done as an emergency. Patient survived.
If you do not have any complaints that are mentioned above,then you can wait as you are 82 years old with associated heart and lung ailments.
It could be a high risk surgery.
I request you to wait .
If you have any queries, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
