Femoral Herinoplasty

Femoral hernia is an uncommon hernia which is estimated to be one in every 20 groin hernias. The condition is described as a situation when abdominal content bulges from the femoral opening. The procedure of femoral herinoplasty is performed to identify the herniated mass and then replacing them back to its original position into the abdomen.

The worst part is that femoral hernias usually do not show any symptom. The victim may suffer from groin discomfort. However, the condition becomes worst when a person stands. Especially, when he tries to lift a heavy object he suffers sudden groin hernia pain, vomiting, and abdominal hernia pain.

Femoral hernia repair is performed by means of laparoscopic process. During the repair of femoral hernia, three smaller incisions are made instead of a single large incision. An open hernia operation is performed under which a mesh patch is used to hold the protruding tissues and glands in place. Remember, femoral hernia appears like a painful lump in the groin or thigh.
