Hernia, femoral
A femoral hernia is an uncommon type of hernia. It's estimated that only about 1 in every 20 groin hernias are femoral hernias, and the rest are inguinal hernias.
A femoral hernia repair can be carried out as either open surgery or keyhole surgery (also called laparoscopic surgery).
You should be able to go home on the day of, or the day after, your operation. Get an adult to take you home in a car or taxi and follow any instructions you're given by the hospital.
