Mayo's Repair Indication
Mayo's repair is a surgical procedure specifically indicated for the treatment of a femoral hernia. This technique involves closing the femoral canal, which is the common site for femoral hernias.
A femoral hernia occurs when tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall in the upper thigh, near the femoral artery and vein. Mayo's repair addresses this specific anatomical location.
Therefore, Mayo's repair is performed for:
