This case report details surgical treatments for femoral hernia in children, highlighting repair methods.
Femoral hernia (FH) is a rare condition in children, characterized by the protrusion of abdominal organs through the femoral canal. The localization of FHs is classified into typical and atypical variants. This report presents two clinical cases of FH treatment in children. In the first case, following an examination and identification of a typical FH in an 8-year-old boy, open FH repair using Lockwood’s technique was performed. In the second case, an atypical FH (Laugier’s hernia) was diagnosed in a 7-year-old girl during diagnostic laparoscopy. The child underwent video-assisted percutaneous extraperitoneal FH repair. The article discusses the challenges of the differential diagnosis of FHs and the methods of their treatment.
