Classification

Femoral hernia may be occasionally classified into several subtypes based on anatomical relations:[1][2][3][4][5]

Sub-classification Location and relations
Cloquet's hernia Emerges through the pectineal fascia
Hesselbach's (lateral) hernia Lateral to the inferior epigastric and femoral vessels
Velpeau's hernia Prevascular-anterior to the femoral vessels
Serafini's hernia Retrovascular-posterior to the femoral vessels
De Garengeot hernia Contains the appendix
Littre hernia Contains a Meckel's diverticulum
Laugier's hernia Develops through the lacunar ligament
