Constriction of the femoral vein after McVay inguinal hernia repair.
Publication/Presentation Date

Abstract
The femoral vein is easily constricted during McVay herniorrhaphy, yet this complication is rarely reported. A case of femoral vein constriction caused by McVay herniorrhaphy that has been documented by venous duplex scanning is presented. A review of the literature is provided with a discussion of the technical aspects of McVay hernia repair. Venous duplex scanning is demonstrated to be an excellent noninvasive means of evaluating possible femoral vein constriction after herniorrhaphy.
