Abstract

The presence of an appendix vermiformis in a femoral hernia sac is called De Garengeot’s hernia. It is a very rare clinical condition and requires emergency surgery. However, preoperative diagnosis of De Garengeot’s hernia is difficult. Herein, we report a 58-year-old female who presented with sudden-onset painful swelling in the right groin region. Diagnosis was established based on computed tomography findings, and appendectomy with meshfree hernia repair was performed. The postoperative period was uneventful, and the histopathologic examination of the specimen revealed gangrenous appendicitis.

Özet

Femoral fıtık kesesi içerisinde apendiksin bulunması de Garengeot fıtığı olarak adlandırılır. Bu klinik durum, oldukça nadir görülen ve acil cerrahi girişim gerektiren bir klinik durumdur ve De Garengeot fıtığı tanısının ameliyat öncesi konulması oldukça zordur. Bu yazıda sunulan olgu sağ kasık bölgesinde aniden başlayan ağrısı olan 58 yaşında kadın hastadır. Tanı, bilgisayarlı tomografi bulguları ile konuldu ve apendektomiyle birlikte greftsiz fıtık onarımı uygulandı. Ameliyat sonrası komplikasyon gelişmedi. Histopatolojik inceleme gangrenöz apandisit ile uyumluydu.
