ABSTRACT
|
|
Introduction: The presence of the appendix within a femoral hernia, a condition named De Garengeot hernia, is an unusual finding often discovered incidentally during surgery. Patients usually present with a clinical picture undistinguishable from that of an incarcerated groin hernia and few cases have been clearly observed on imaging studies. Case Report: This paper present the case of a De Garengeot hernia diagnosed on a preoperative CT-scan and repaired using a modified Nyhus tissue-based procedure. Conclusion: Clinical experience mainly arises from management decisions taken intra-operatively, and no standard recommendations have yet been formulated. This article further discusses surgical dilemmas in managing this rare entity. Keywords: De Garengeot hernia, Femoral hernia, Nyhus procedure, Surgical approach |
