Femoral hernias

These occur below the groin in the upper thigh and are more common in women. The bulge may be small or difficult to identify. They carry a higher risk of trapped contents, so timely assessment is needed and surgery is often recommended. The open or laparoscopic approach depends on the findings and patient condition.
