Abstract: | Laparoscopic femoral herniorrhaphy using a preperitoneal plug and patch appears to be a feasible laparoscopic approach to femoral hernia. A modified preperitoneal femoral hernia repair with mesh and resection of incarcerated small bowel has been successfully completed under laparoscopic guidance in a 64-year-old patient with incarcerated femoral hernia. To our knowledge, this is the first such case reported in the United States. With further experience, laparoscopic femoral herniorrhaphy could provide a viable alternative to the standard treatment of femoral hernia. |
