Abstract:
Femoral hernia is rare in adults and even less common in children, to the point that expert surgeons have limited experience with it. Eleven patients with femoral hernia have been operated upon in our service during the past 15 years. Preoperative diagnosis was made in 6 cases (54.5%), and we underline that the ideal therapy began with this early diagnosis. We review the etiologies, clinical findings and treatment of femoral hernia in children.
