“…Incarceration is rare in pediatric FHs, with only a few cases found in literature [5,[7][8][9]20] and one in this series. The age at presentation typically ranges between 4 and 10 years, with a mean of 5.5 [12], comparable with 7.5 years in this series.…”

“…Recurrence rate after femoral hernia repair is reported to be 1%–10% [1, 5, 13, 14]. Technical insufficiency and lack of anatomical knowledge of the femoral hernia ring are considered as the most important factors for recurrence.…”

Femoral hernias are more common in women and lead to a substantial higher rate for an emergency operation, due to strangulation. Incarcerated femoral hernia with fallopian tube as a content is an extremely rare condition. A 20-year-old woman presented to the emergency department complaining of a 6-day right groin swelling, which became painful and tender to palpation during the last 48 hours. Preoperative ultrasonography detected an oedematous hernia sac, above the femoral vessels, suggesting the presence of an incarcerated femoral hernia. The patient eventually underwent emergency surgery and the diagnosis of a strangulated femoral hernia sac, containing fallopian tube, was established. No resection of the uterine tube was performed and the hernia was repaired with polypropylene plug. The postoperative period was uneventful and the woman was discharged on the second postoperative day.

“…Radcliffe et al [4] reported that femoral hernia was seen frequently in children aged 5-10 years old. Incarcerated femoral hernia in children reported in the literature from 1878 to 2005 comprised only 23 cases [1]. Totally 81% (13/16 cases) of incarcerated femoral hernia cases in female infants were reportedly complicated with sliding ovary [1,2].…”

Incarcerated femoral hernia with ovary and fallopian tube torsion in an infant: a rare occurrence

Incarcerated femoral hernia with ovary and fallopian tube torsion is very rare in children. We herein report a case of incarcerated femoral hernia with ovary and fallopian tube torsion in a 7-month-old female who was diagnosed on the basis of operative findings. We released the torsion of the left fallopian tube. However, the ovary remained discolored. Left salpingo-oophorectomy and McVay repair for femoral hernia were performed. She has experienced no recurrence of femoral hernia for 3 years. We must consider incarcerated femoral hernia in the differential diagnosis for infants with groin redness and swelling.
