Symptoms of femoral hernia can be confused with some inguinal hernias. Femoral hernia mainly occurs in women, especially those who have given birth many times. Abdominal wall muscles are weak due to multiple pregnancies, the pelvis is slightly stretched during childbirth. Those are the two main factors that make the fascia and ligaments of the Scarpa triangle weak, easily causing hernia. Therefore, femoral hernia is acquired rather than congenital (very rare in children).

A femoral hernia is a bulge of bowel or fatty tissue that is pushed through a weak muscle in the thigh. It occurs near the thigh, usually the right side. A femoral hernia sometimes causes a swelling in the upper inner thigh or groin. These swellings can usually go away when you lie down.

A femoral hernia is a condition in which abdominal viscera pass through the foramen commissure below the inguinal ligament, which is the weak point of the base of the triangle of Scarpa down the anterior aspect of the femur. Hernias are very rare (about 6% of all hernias), and are more common in women. Very rare in children.

Fibroids are benign tumors that grow in or on the uterus. They can affect fertility and the chance of getting pregnant. Uterine fibroids are very common, with 20 to 80 percent of women developing noncancerous fibroids by age 50, and 30 percent of women between the ages of 25 and 44 have fibroid symptoms. This means that uterine fibroids are common in women of reproductive age.

Uterine fibroids are a very common disease in women of childbearing age, especially those with hyperestrogenism, infertility or late childbirth. Uterine fibroids are a benign disease, if detected early, it can be cured very easily. Uterine fibroid surgery is one of the modern treatment methods to improve the disease quickly, including open surgery.

When it comes to surgery, we often think of the surgical method, the results, the length of hospital stay, and the cost of surgery. Having to prepare hospital supplies for one or two days for not-so-major surgeries is a disadvantage for patients. That is why in developed countries, day surgery is becoming more and more popular.

ERAS stands for Enhanced Recovery After Surgery. Vinmec Times City International Hospital, part of the Vinmec system, is the first hospital in Vietnam to apply ERAS in the field of digestive surgery. ERAS can be applied in many types of digestive surgery such as: colorectal surgery, gastric surgery, hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, weight loss surgery, etc.

To achieve good results when practicing ERAS, it is necessary to have the participation of many different specialties such as: Internal medicine, surgery, cardiology, respiratory medicine, nutrition, rehabilitation and most importantly, to enhance the role and function of anesthesia and resuscitation.

The Eras Rapid Surgical Recovery Program helps patients speed up their recovery after surgery.

ERAS is a method of patient care before, during and after surgery with the participation of many specialties in the hospital to help patients recover quickly after surgery. So what benefits will surgical patients participating in this program have?
