Femoral hernia repair is surgery performed to repair your femoral hernia and prevent any serious complications happening from this type of hernia.
A femoral hernia can cause: obstruction where a section of your bowel is stuck in the femoral canal and, strangulation where a section of your bowel becomes trapped and its blood supply is cut off.
Strangulation can be dangerous and requires emergency femoral hernia repair surgery to release the trapped bowel and restore its blood supply.
