Abstract
Femoral hernias carry an increased risk of incarceration. De Garengeot hernia, a rare subset, occurs when the appendix herniates through the femoral canal. Due to its rarity, various surgical approaches have been explored, including isolated groin incisions, combined approaches, and exclusive laparoscopic interventions. This case involved a 58-year-old female diagnosed with a De Garengeot hernia and nonperforated acute appendicitis, managed through a combined laparoscopic and an inguinal approach, and underwent laparoscopic appendectomy and open repair of femoral hernia using a biologic mesh. In this case, the combined approaches facilitated a successful hernia repair and appendectomy while enabling a swift recovery. This case highlights the effectiveness of the combined minimally invasive and inguinal approach in optimizing outcomes for patients with De Garengeot hernia.
