Introduction
Femoral hernia repair is a surgical procedure performed to correct a weakness in the femoral canal, located just below the groin crease.
Although less common than inguinal hernias, femoral hernias carry a higher risk of incarceration and strangulation, especially in women, making timely surgical repair essential.
Surgery is the only definitive treatment and is often recommended even for small or minimally symptomatic femoral hernias.
