Abstract:
The possible relationship between the greater incidence of femoral hernia on the right side of the human body and anatomic differences between the right and left femoral ring were studied. The morphology and the transverse diameter of the femoral rings on both sides of 38 adult, formolized corpses were compared. There was no difference between the two sides.
