[Crural hernia after inguinal hernia repair. A technical note].
A case of femoral hernia following repair of an inguinal hernia with the Shouldice method is presented. The authors discuss the pathogenesis, suggest the use of ultrasound for a precise preoperative diagnosis, and propose the "plug" technique of Lichtenstein as the method of choice for the repair. This method offers a minimally invasive approach, without disturbing the previous inguinal repair and it is very simple to perform.
