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.

Abstract

De Garengeot hernisi, 1731 yılında Fransız bir cerrah olan Rene Jacques Croissant de Garengeot tarafından femoral herni kesesi içinde apendiks vermiformisin olması şeklinde tanımlanmış bir herni şeklidir. Literatürde 100’den az vaka bildirilmiştir. Genellikle operasyon esnasında tanı alan bu vakaların preoperatif olarak bilgisayarlı tomografi ile tanı alması literatürde daha da nadirdir. Bu makalede karın ağrısı ile acil servise başvurarak bilgisayarlı tomografi ile preoperatif olarak De Garengeot hernisi tanısı alan bir hastanın sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Laparaskopik yaklaşımla femoral kanalda perfore apandisit izlenmiş ve apendektomi uygulanmıştır. Cerrahi tedavi açısından apendiksin akut enflame olup olmamasına, perforasyon/apse varlığına, cerrahi yaklaşım yeri tercihine ve apendektomi ile fıtık onarımının eş zamanlı olup olmamasına göre farklı tedavi seçenekleri mevcuttur. Bizim olgumuzda laparoskopik apendektomi yapılmış, herni onarımı ikinci bir operasyona bırakılarak apendektomi ile birlikte drenaj ile yetinilmiştir.
