Femoral Hernia
Abstract
A femoral hernia is a protrusion of a peritoneal sac, covered with extraperitoneal fat, into the femoral sheath.
The most common femoral hernia enters the femoral canal, which is that space in the sheath medial to the
femoral vessels as they proceed from the abdomen into the thigh. A femoral hernial sac may contain all or
part of an abdominal viscus, including the ureter [1].
