Femoral Hernia

普外科

Common symptoms

大腿内侧痛、腹水、囊肿、腹痛、静脉曲张、便秘、胀痛、软组织感染、反应迟钝、血运障碍

The pathology of disease

Femoral hernia is protrusion of peritoneum/fat through the femoral canal (below inguinal ligament, medial to femoral vessels), more common in women, with high risk of incarceration/strangulation. Treatment: elective surgical repair (open/Lotheissen or laparoscopic); urgent repair if incarcerated/strangulated (bowel resection if necrotic); NPO/IV fluids pre-op; antibiotics if compromised; postoperative care; follow-up; early repair recommended due to high complication risk.

Common Symptoms

Groin lump below inguinal ligament; more in women; high incarceration risk

Causes and Pathogenesis

Femoral canal weakness allows peritoneal protrusion.

Treatment

Elective/urgent repair; bowel resection if necrotic; avoid delay

Preventive Measures

Elective repair when diagnosed.
