Résumé
We present an intriguing case of an incarcerated femoral hernia containing an inflamed appendix inside the sac, also known as a De Garengeot hernia. This type of hernia is a rare occurrence that was first described in 1731 by the French surgeon René-Jacque Croissant de Garengeot. A 64-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a painful mass in the right groin region. Following a computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis to evaluate the mass, the diagnosis of a femoral hernia containing a strangulated appendix was established. Subsequently, a hybrid surgical approach was utilized, consisting of an open hernia repair and a laparoscopic appendectomy.
