Abstract

Femoral Hernia is less common form of groin hernia. It is more common in females due to wide femoral canal and weak pelvic musculature(1,2). It generally present with groin swelling and features of intestinal obstruction. We are reporting an unusual presentation of femoral hernia in 80 year old female with enterocutaneous fistula with gut mucosal prolapse like a pathological mucosal prolapse of ileostomy. We performed urgent exploratory laprotomy for intenstional obstruction with gut mucosal prolapse from the fistulous site with favorable outcome.
