Advantages at a glance:<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The TAPP technique is one of the most modern procedures in minimally invasive hernia surgery – especially for femoral hernias.<\/span><\/p>\n The TEP technique is also minimally invasive, but access is outside the abdominal cavity. It is particularly gentle and carries a lower risk of injury to intra-abdominal organs. <\/span><\/p>\n The operation can be performed on an outpatient basis for suitable patients. You come to the surgery in the morning and go home the same day. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Whether the TAPP or TEP technique is more suitable depends on various factors:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n The method is always selected individually at VenaZiel.

It usually involves fat or parts of the intestine. This bulge occurs due to a weak point in the abdominal wall. This point is located below the inguinal ligament in the femoral canal. <\/span><\/p>\n The hernia typically appears near the inner thigh and usually occurs in older women. It is a rare but dangerous hernia. It is often recognized late and has a high risk of incarceration. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A femoral hernia is caused by a combination of weakening of the abdominal wall and increased pressure in the abdominal cavity. Common causes and risk factors are <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A femoral fracture can initially be completely asymptomatic or cause diffuse symptoms. Typical symptoms:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A femoral hernia is particularly dangerous because the femoral canal is very narrow. This can easily cause parts of the intestine to become trapped (medical term: incarceration). If this condition is not treated quickly, it can lead to problems with the blood supply to the intestine. This can lead to an intestinal obstruction, which can be very dangerous. <\/span><\/p>\n That is why we recommend in our practice:<\/b> Every femoral hernia should be treated surgically – even if there are few or no symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
