Abstract
The records of 26 children with femoral hernia are reviewed. In five patients, inguinal herniotomy had been performed previously. The correct diagnosis was made preoperatively in 7 (27%) of the cases only. The operation included a repair narrowing the femoral canal in all but 5 cases. At follow-up 1/2-19 1/2 years no recurrence was found. The importance of a careful pre- and peroperative examination is emphasized.
