Over-riding importance of
femoral hernia..??
Strangulation narrowness and rigidity
of the canal– 40% present as
strangulation
Truss does not help--- contraindicated
Femoral Canal……

Potential space in medial portion of femoral sheath
1.25 cm long
1.25 cm wide
Femoral ring
covered by septum

Saphenous opening covered by cribriform fascia (below)

Medial---

Elderly, multi-parous women
Dragging pain & groin lump
40% present with strangulation
Rare before puberty
Femoral hernia
Bilateral femoral hernia
Differential diagnosis..
?
Inguinal hernia superio-medial while femoral is inferiolateral to pubic tubercle
Inguinal hernia
Femoral hernia
Saphena varex: positive cough impulse make them similar, fluid thrill, hum on auscultation, disappearance when supine and presence of varicose veins differentiates it from femoral hernia
Types of femoral
hernia…?
Hydrocele of the femoral herniasac when neck is blocked by
contents or adhesions
Laugier’s femoral herniaHernia through the lacunar
ligament of Gimbernat’s
Narath’s femoral hernia sac behind the femoral vessels,
occurs in hip dislocation
Cloquet’s hernia sac behind the pectineal fascia
Think as a Surgeon…
WHEN TREATING FEMORAL HERNIA
Hurry up you got some work to do
man….
Operate as soon as diagnosis is made--
strangulation
Remember Truss is contraindicated…..
High operation (McEvedy)
Low operation (Lockwood)
Inguinal operation
(Lotheissen’s)
Laparoscopic repair (TEP—total extra-peritoneal)
