Femoral hernia

Femoral hernia is a less common but potentially serious type of hernia that often requires surgical correction. Laparoscopic femoral hernia repair offers a minimally invasive solution with faster recovery and reduced pain.

Description

A femoral hernia occurs when abdominal tissue pushes through the femoral canal — a narrow passage near the groin and upper thigh. It can present as a lump or discomfort in the upper thigh, often mistaken for an inguinal hernia.

Laparoscopic surgery involves small incisions through which a camera and instruments are inserted. The herniated tissue is repositioned, and the femoral canal is reinforced with a surgical mesh. This technique reduces trauma to surrounding tissue and shortens hospital stays.

Small keyhole incisions are made. The hernia is pushed back, and a synthetic mesh is placed to reinforce the canal.

Femoral hernia step 4

Recovery & Aftercare

Patients are often discharged the same day. Most resume daily activities within 3–5 days, with full recovery in a couple of weeks.

Safe, Scar-Free Solution

Laparoscopic femoral hernia repair offers excellent results with minimal scars, quick discharge, and low recurrence. It’s the modern, safe way to address a condition that, if ignored, can lead to dangerous complications.
