femoral hernias account for 2% to 4% of groin hernias, are more common in women, and are more appropriate to present with strangulation and require emergency surgery. this condition may lead to symptoms of bowel obstruction or strangulation and possible bowel resection-anastomosis. to the best of our knowledge, there is few reports of strangulated femoral hernia. we herein present an 82-year-ol...

Surgical treatment of femoral hernia has a long history. In the 19th century Bassini and Marcy are simply closing the femoral ring, while Cushing published approach for solving the femoral hernia. However, a high percentage of relapse with conventional techniques, require a different approach in dealing with femoral hernia. It is assumed that the femoral hernia occurs in 7% of all abdominal wal...

Purpose: Femoral hernia is a kind of ventral hernia that surgeons commonly encounter, second in frequency only to inguinal hernia. Femoral hernias often require emergency surgery because of incarceration or strangulation of the intestine. In addition, intestinal resection may need to be considered based on intestinal viability. Definitive preoperative diagnosis and strategic planning for surger...

INTRODUCTION A De Garengeot hernia is a rare form of femoral hernia, where the appendix is found in the herniated sac. This feature is important to report, as both the diagnosis and the treatment are quite challenging in this particular condition. PRESENTATION OF CASE We report the case of a 77-year-old female presenting with a femoral hernia, containing an incarcerated necrotic vermiform app...

De Garengeot's hernia is quite rare and is a femoral hernia that contains a vermiform appendix and can present as a painful, tender swelling or an asymptomatic lump. We present the case of a 70-year-old patient who presented to our surgical unit after being referred for diagnostic imaging of an asymptomatic groin lump which was found to be a De Garengeot's hernia. She had an open repair of her ...

A 63 year old female underwent an uncomplicated total extraperitoneal repair of a right direct inguinal hernia. One week later she presented with a strangulated left femoral hernia. We believe the dissection of the extraperitoneal space caused bleeding which tracked down through the femoral canal resulting in a femoral hernia. To date there are no reports of such a complication following total ...

Acute appendicitis involving the hernia sac is infrequent but well-documented in medical literature. In most instances, it occurs within the right inguinal (Amyand's hernia) or right femoral hernia (de Garengeot hernia). The diagnosis is always mistaken for incarcerated groin hernia. During surgery, the appendix itself, either perforated or strangulated, is most commonly encountered within the ...

INTRODUCTION A de Garengeot hernia, a femoral hernia containing the appendix, is a difficult diagnosis often made intra-operatively when the hernia sac is opened. It is a rare finding, and complications are more frequent with a de Garengeot hernia. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 92 year-old female presented to the emergency department (ED) complaining of abdominal pain. A computed tomographic (CT) sc...

BACKGROUND AND AIM It has been reported that femoral hernias are rather common after a previous repair of inguinal hernia. We herein present a modified patch repair technique for large femoral hernias that develop after a Lichtenstein operation for ipsilateral inguinal hernia. PATIENTS AND METHODS The modified technique for femoral hernia was applied to three patients who had a Lichtenstein r...
