De Garengeot hernia associated with perforated appendicitis: A rare case report

Abstract

De Garengeot hernia is defined as the presence of the appendix vermiformis in the femoral hernia sac by a French surgeon, Rene Jacques Croissant de Garengeot, in 1731 . In literature, there are less than 100 cases. This clinical entity is usually diagnosed peroperatively and it is rarely noticed preoperatively on tomography scan. In this paper, it was aimed to present a patient admitting the emergency service with abdominal pain, diagnosed as De Garengeot hernia  with perforated appendicitis preoperatively and undergone laparoscopic appendectomy. Depending on the presence or absence of acute infection of the appendix vermiformis, presence of perforation / abcess, type of surgical approach and whether appendectomy and hernia repair are performed sımultaneously or not, there are different treatment modalities. In our case, laparoscopic appendectomy with abscess drainage was performed and hernia repair is planned as a delayed secondary intervention.
