Transverse colon and omental incarceration in femoral hernia: a case report
A femoral hernia is one of the groin hernias with a high chance of incarceration and strangulation due to its narrow neck. Here, we report a case of transverse colon incarceration. A 65-year-old female patient presented with groin mass that failed to reduce and a dragging pain. Elective open femoral...

description | A femoral hernia is one of the groin hernias with a high chance of incarceration and strangulation due to its narrow neck. Here, we report a case of transverse colon incarceration. A 65-year-old female patient presented with groin mass that failed to reduce and a dragging pain. Elective open femoral herniorrhaphy was done with the finding of viable incarcerated massive momentum along with transverse colon. Femoral hernias have a female-to-male ratio of about 10:1. Postmenopausal, increasing age, and constipation were some of the risk factors identified in our patient. Various types of organs can be found in the femoral hernia sac but one of the rarely reported organ was found in our case: a transverse colon. Femoral hernia with a large bulky soft mass can get incarcerated easily but relatively less prone to strangulation. |
