De Garengeot's hernia, the presence of an incarcerated vermiform appendix within a femoral hernia, is a rare general surgery emergency that predominantly affects elderly female patients. Due to its rarity, there is significant variation in surgical technique; however, most case reports favor an open approach. Here we present a case of a De Garengeot's hernia with a unique hybrid open and laparoscopic repair, utilizing the hernia defect as a port site. We will also review the relevant literature. |
