Description
Chaudhary and co-authors report a rare case in which a femoral hernia led to an open leak from the bowel to the skin. Such leaks can cause sepsis, poor nutrition, and fluid loss, and they can be life threatening. The patient was an 83-year-old woman with a right groin swelling that could not be pushed back. The swelling discharged fecal matter over a short history.
A CT scan showed a pierced loop of small bowel trapped in the hernia. Surgeons removed the damaged bowel segment, joined the healthy ends, and repaired the hernia without mesh. The woman recovered well after surgery. The authors urge doctors to weigh this cause when older women show odd groin discharge.
