Abstract

Abstract: We present a rare case of De Garengeot hernia treated with simultaneous laparoscopic appendectomy and transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair. Our patient was an 85‐year‐old man with a bulging mass in the right groin. De Garengeot hernia was observed on contrast‐enhanced CT. Urgent laparoscopy showed the distal part of the appendix passing through a right‐sided femoral hernia. Laparoscopic appendectomy was performed, followed by transabdominal preperitoneal repair of the femoral hernia. Pathological examination revealed ischemic necrosis of the appendix. The patient's postoperative recovery was uneventful.
