Abstract | De Garengeot's hernia happens when an inflamed or ischemic appendix is located within an incarcerated femoral hernia. We hereby report a case of De Garengeot's hernia treated with a combined open and laparoscopic approach. An 80-year-old male presented to the emergency department with a 1-day history of a tender right inguinal mass. A computed tomography scan revealed a direct right inguinal hernia containing an incarcerated appendix. At surgery, the diagnosis of a strangulated appendix within a femoral hernia was made. To avoid a wide disruption of the right groin region, the ischemic appendix was reduced into the abdomen and removed laparoscopically. The femoral defect was treated by open plug repair. De Garengeot's hernia may represent a surgical challenge. A combined open and laparoscopic approach is a good option in these cases. |
