What is a Femoral Hernia?

A femoral hernia occurs when a portion of the intestine or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the femoral canal, located in the groin area. This type of hernia is less common but can be more challenging to diagnose and treat. It often presents as a bulge in the upper thigh or groin, and it can cause discomfort or pain.

What to Expect from Our Femoral Hernia Repair Clinic

At our clinic, you can expect comprehensive care and personalized treatment tailored to your needs. We understand that some patients may prefer a female surgeon or specialist for their comfort, and we offer options to accommodate these preferences.

Femoral Hernia Repair Procedures

1. Open Surgery: Traditional approach where a larger incision is made to access and repair the hernia. The weakened area is reinforced with a mesh implant to prevent recurrence.
2. Laparoscopic Surgery: A minimally invasive technique involving small incisions and the use of a camera and specialized instruments to repair the hernia. This method typically offers quicker recovery times and less postoperative pain.

Symptoms of Femoral Hernias

• A noticeable bulge or swelling in the groin or upper thigh.
• Pain or discomfort in the groin area, especially when standing or lifting heavy objects.
• A feeling of pressure or heaviness in the groin.
• In severe cases, nausea, vomiting, or signs of bowel obstruction may occur.

Diagnosis of Femoral Hernias

To accurately diagnose a femoral hernia, our team will perform:

• Physical Examination: Assessment of the groin area to identify any bulges or abnormal findings.
• Imaging Studies: Ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI may be used to confirm the presence of a hernia and evaluate its extent.

Benefits of Femoral Hernia Repair

• Minimally Invasive Options: Laparoscopic surgery offers reduced pain, minimal scarring, and a quicker return to normal activities.
• Enhanced Recovery: Faster recovery times and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery.
• Long-Term Relief: Effective repair techniques to prevent recurrence and alleviate symptoms permanently.

Recovery Process After Femoral Hernia Repair

• Postoperative Care: Follow our detailed care instructions to manage pain, prevent infection, and support healing.
• Activity and Mobility: Gradually resume normal activities as advised, avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous activities during the initial recovery period.
• Follow-Up Appointments: Attend scheduled check-ups to monitor progress, ensure proper healing, and address any concerns.
