Laparoscopic: for a femoral hernia laparoscopic repair has definitely showed superiority over open . The recurrence rate for open is still too high the laparoscopic repair have less than 5% recurrence comparing to 35% for open and pain is definitely less with laparoscopic than open This information only apply to the femoral hernia

Femoral Hernia: that is a question best left to you and your surgeon based on your medical history, his preference and experience . Please discuss the risks and benefits with your surgeon and make a decision together.
