Abstract
de Garengeot hernia is a rare subtype of a femoral hernia with incarceration of the appendix. This type of hernia usually presents with therapeutic dilemmas, especially because of the risk of surgical site infection (SSI). Our patient was a 74-year-old woman with a bulging mass and tenderness in the right inguinal area. Computed tomography revealed an incarcerated appendix, with appendicitis in the femoral hernia. Laparoscopic appendectomy was initially performed, followed by hernioplasty via the anterior approach to prevent properitoneal contamination. Some authors have recently reported cases successfully treated by laparoscopy. However, this type of hernia has a higher risk for SSI, compared with the risk involved in usual hernioplasty. Therefore, selection of the appropriate surgical approach to prevent wound infection is important, especially in the presence of appendicitis. We would like to highlight the usefulness of hybrid surgery, laparoscopic appendectomy and hernioplasty via the anterior approach to prevent SSIs.
