Introduction:
Crural hernia is due to a defect of the fascia transversalis, which makes the hernia sac becomes exteriorized in the femoral region. Patients and methods: 32 cases of patients with a diagnosis of crural hernia from the Surgical Clinical Chair at Hospital de Clínicas, Paraguay from 2015 through 2021. This was a retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study whose objective is to determine the clinical and surgical characteristics of Crural Hernias in the I Surgical Clinical Chair at Hospital de Clínicas, Paraguay from 2015 through 2021. Results: 78.1% were women. Mean age was 68.1 +/- 14 years, the most common reason for consultation was pain in the inguinocrural region in 56.3% of the patients. In 78.1% of them, pain was confirmed in the right sid. Infrainguinal approach was attempted in 68.8% of the cases. Conclusion: The current challenge is always for the surgeon to achieve an accurate diagnosis and follow the correct course of action in each patient. Since the group of patients diagnosed with crural hernia is limited we should provide them with proper treatment and know all the options available.
