Abstract:Introduction:The laparoscopic approach for elective femoral herniorrhaphy is well established. However, femoral hernias often present as incarcerations and require emergency repair surgery, mainly using the open approach. This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the efficacy of the laparoscopic approach for incarcerated femoral hernias.Methods: Data of patients who underwent emergency surgery for incarcerated femoral hernia between April 2016 and August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Laparoscopy was pe… Show more
“…The potentially necrotic content might lead to bowel perforation, abdominal infection, and even fatal sepsis if not operated [2] . Laparoscopic treatment of incarcerated hernias did not increase morbidity and mortality and was associated with a shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and no recurrence [3] . However, the incarcerated small intestine can be easily damaged during treatment, resulting in the spread of abdominal infection.…”
