Abstract
A 34-year-old woman with cystic fibrosis presented with bilateral femoral hernias, which were found to be retrovascular at operation. The hernias were not amenable to conventional open or laparoscopic repair, and were repaired using pre-peritoneal mesh inserted deep to transversalis fascia. The anatomical basis and management of uncommon variants of femoral hernia are discussed.Entities:
