Small Bowel Obstruction Secondary to Femoral Hernia: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Femoral hernias account for 3% of groin hernias, and are more common in women, and are more appropriate to present with strangulation and require emergency surgery. Approximately 50% of men with a femoral hernia will have an associated inguinal hernia whereas this relationship occurs in only 2% of women. In this article we report a case of strangulated femoral hernia that presented with features of small bowel obstruction and underwent emergency laprotomy and resection and end to end anastomosis and hernia repair. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was doing well. Strangulated femoral hernia of small bowel is rare.
