abstract = {Femoral hernias are misdiagnosed in children. A 5-year-old boy who was operated for a right indirect inguinal hernia at the age of 3 was at our department by conventional route. However, a right inguinal bulge developed at 3 months after the first operation. Laparoscopy demonstrated that the patient had femoral hernia, which was located easily. The femoral orifice was closed using our LPEC method with non-absorbable thread. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful. The femoral hernia repair method using an LPEC needle turned out to be easy, safe and produce good cosmetic results.},
