Overview

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for femoral hernia.

Indications

  • The mainstay of treatment for femoral hernia is surgery. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:
    • [Indication 1]
    • [Indication 2]
    • [Indication 3]

Surgery

  • Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for femoral hernia.[1]
  • Surgery should not be delayed because of the high incidence of strangulation or incarceration.[1]
  • In case of incarceration or strangulation immediate surgical intervention is required regardless of age of the patient.[2]
  • Objectives of hernia surgery are:[3][4][5]
    • Reduction of the hernia
    • Excision of the sac
    • Closure of the femoral ring to prevent recurrence
  • Surgical techniques used are either femoral or inguinal based approaches, used individually or in combination:[3][4][5]
    • Basic hernioplasty operation
    • Hernioplasties with prosthetic materials (polypropylene mesh, sutureless mesh-plug repair)
    • Laparoscopic approach

Contraindications

  • When incarceration or strangulation is present surgical intervention does increase morbidity and mortality, but it still needs to be performed.[2]
