AB  - Strangulated femoral hernia is a rare but serious surgical emergency characterized by the entrapment of abdominal contents in the femoral canal, leading to compromised blood flow and potential complications such as ischemia, necrosis, or perforation. Prompt surgical intervention is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality. While open surgery has long been the standard treatment, laparoscopic techniques are increasingly preferred due to their minimally invasive nature, shorter recovery time, and lower complication rates. In this case report, the successful management of a strangulated femoral hernia in an 82-year-old female patient using with laparoscopic method was presented. The laparoscopic approach not only allowed for accurate intra-abdominal exploration but also facilitated a safe and effective repair. This case highlights the feasibility and advantages of laparoscopy even in elderly patients, supporting its role as a reliable option in the emergency management of femoral hernias.

N2  - Strangüle femoral herni, abdominal içeriğin femoral kanalda sıkışmasıyla karakterize nadir ancak ciddi bir cerrahi acil durumdur ve kan akışının bozulmasına ve iskemi, nekroz veya perforasyon gibi olası komplikasyonlara yol açar. Morbidite ve mortaliteyi azaltmak için derhal cerrahi müdahale şarttır. Açık cerrahi uzun zamandır standart tedavi yöntemi olsa da, minimal invaziv doğası, daha kısa iyileşme süresi ve daha düşük komplikasyon oranları nedeniyle laparoskopik teknikler giderek daha fazla tercih edilmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda, 82 yaşında bir kadın hastada strangüle femoral herninin laparoskopik yöntemle başarılı bir şekilde yönetimi sunulmuştur. Laparoskopik yaklaşım yalnızca doğru intraabdominal eksplorasyona izin vermekle kalmamış, aynı zamanda güvenli ve etkili bir onarımı da kolaylaştırmıştır. Bu vaka, laparoskopinin yaşlı hastalarda bile uygulanabilirliğini ve avantajlarını vurgulayarak, femoral hernilerin acil tedavisinde güvenilir bir seçenek olarak rolünü desteklemektedir.
