De Garengeot Hernia, an Acute Appendicitis in the Right Femoral Hernia Canal, and Successful Management with Transabdominal Closure and Appendectomy: A Case Report

Incarceration of the appendix within a femoral hernia is a rare condition of abdominal wall hernia about 0.1 to 0.5% in reported femoral hernia [1]. We report a case of a 56-year-old female whose appendix was trapped in the right femoral canal. There are few reports in the literature on entrapment of the appendix within a femoral hernia. The management of this condition includes antibiotics, drainage appendectomy, hernioplasty and mesh repair.
