  • Title: Repair of concomitant inguinal and femoral hernias under local anaesthesia.
    Author: Elton C, Stoodley BJ.
    Journal: Int J Clin Pract; 2001 Nov; 55(9):645-6. PubMed ID: 11770366.
    Abstract:
    We describe the case of a 91-year-old patient with small bowel obstruction due to an obstructed groin hernia. It was decided to repair the hernia under local anaesthesia and sedation because of the patient's age and medical condition. At surgery, concomitant inguinal and femoral hernias were found and repaired. We discuss the technique of repairing groin hernias under local anaesthesia, especially in the elderly, and the previously reported incidence of concomitant hernias.
