There are only two cases of bilateral strangulated femoral hernias, and these occur solely in females. To our knowledge, in the present manuscript, a bilateral strangulated femoral hernia in a male patient is reported for the first time. A 68-year-old male proceeded to the emergency department of our institution with symptoms of bowel obstruction. Abdominal computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and subsequent emergency laparotomy revealed obstruction of the sigmoid colon and simultaneous necrosis of several loops of the small intestine due to bilateral strangulated femoral hernia. The operation was uneventful. Despite the scarcity of this clinical condition, surgeons\u2019 awareness is fundamental, in addition to deep knowledge of the pathology and the anatomy of femoral hernias, in order to diagnose and treat adequately strangulated and incarcerated femoral hernias.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjab453","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,22]],"date-time":"2021-11-22T12:06:46Z","timestamp":1637582806000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Intestinal necrosis and sigmoid colon obstruction due to bilateral strangulated femoral hernia in a male: a rare surgical and anatomic case report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2021","author":[{"given":"Maria","family":"Zarokosta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Anatomy and Histology Laboratory, Nursing School, University of Athens, Athens, Greece"},{"name":"University Department of Surgery, General and Oncologic Hospital of Kifissia \u201cAgii Anargiri\u201d, Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"George","family":"Paraskevas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy and Surgical Anatomy, School of Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chrysanthos","family":"Chrysanthou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy and Surgical Anatomy, School of Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Theodoros","family":"Piperos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anatomy and Histology Laboratory, Nursing School, University of Athens, Athens, Greece"},{"name":"University Department of Surgery, General and Oncologic Hospital of Kifissia \u201cAgii Anargiri\u201d, Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aikaterini","family":"Foutsitzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anatomy and Histology Laboratory, Nursing School, University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dimitris","family":"Nikas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anatomy and Histology Laboratory, Nursing School, University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Theodoros","family":"Mariolis-Sapsakos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anatomy and Histology Laboratory, Nursing School, University of Athens, Athens, Greece"},{"name":"University Department of Surgery, General and Oncologic Hospital of Kifissia \u201cAgii Anargiri\u201d, Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021120109293174600_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"347","DOI":"10.1007\/s10029-006-0089-z","article-title":"Bilateral femoral hernia in a male cadaver with vascular variations: case report and review of the literature","volume":"10","author":"Natsis","year":"2006","journal-title":"Hernia"},{"key":"2021120109293174600_ref2","first-page":"340","article-title":"Results of Shouldice femoral hernia repair.
