De Garengeot's hernia: a rare presentation of the wandering appendix.
BMJ Case Reports 2018 March 29
A hernia is defined as a protrusion of an organ or its fascia through a sac of its containing cavity. The presentation of an inflamed appendix inside an incarcerated femoral hernia is termed de Garengeot's hernia. Almost exclusively seen in the female patient, this type of hernia like all others can undergo strangulation leading to complications including appendicitis with or without perforation. Management as described in literature usually comprises open or laparoscopic approach, followed by appendectomy and repair of the femoral hernia with or without mesh. We describe a case of a female patient who presented with an irreducible groin swelling, found to have a femoral hernia containing the inflamed appendix intraoperatively and how it was managed surgically through a laparoscopic approach with a small mesh and closure of defect. Literature review on this rare form of hernia is discussed thereafter.
