[Crural hernia, strangulation and surgical treatment].
Anatomical reasons explain that the diagnosis of femoral hernia is sometimes difficult, that controversies still exist on their treatment and that their strangulation is often ignored. The authors propose some remarks on the anatomy of the femoral canal and the femoral hernias, the repair of the latter, and some of the problems related to strangulating. They conclude that research on the femoral canal and hernias anatomy should be valuable; similarly stimulation of surgeons for a better management of the diagnosis of strangulated femoral hernias and for systematically considering surgical repair of all femoral hernias whatever be the risk, should be beneficial. Lastly they underline that a prospective comparison between prosthetic and non prosthetic repairs of common femoral hernias could be organized easily because they are comparative lesions.
