Abstract: Background: Although the laparoscopic access is becoming the preferable treatment for femoral hernia, there are only few studies on this important subject. Aim: To assess the outcomes of the totally extraperitoneal laparoscopic (TEP) access in the treatment of femoral hernia. Methods: Data of 62 patients with femoral hernia who underwent herniorrhaphy were retrospectively reviewed. The diagnosis of femoral hernia was established by clinical and/or imaging exams in 55 patients and by laparoscopic findings i… Show more

“…Surgery is the only method of definitive treatment for femoral hernias. (van Veenendaal et al(2020), Coelho et al(2021), Peitsch WK. ( 2014)) Three classical approaches are known for this type of pathology: infra-, trans-and suprainguinal.…”

“…There were no major complications reported, although the one patient with a prolonged stay secondary to a chest infection had a femoral hernia. Mean length of stay was 1.7 days (1-5) for under 60s and 3.5 for over 60s (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). There were no conversions to open surgery.…”

“…The femoral ring has relatively rigid borders, and therefore these hernias are prone to strangulation and often present as an emergency, with around 45% operated on as an emergency (1). West et al demonstrated the high complication rate of femoral hernias with 23.2% of patients operated on as an emergency requiring a small bowel resection and their high complication rate is well recognised (2). The relative tightness and rigidity of the femoral ring makes hernia reduction particularly difficult when compared with inguinal hernias.…”
