Appendix epiploica without a colon in the hernia sac is a rare condition, which is even rarer if it has hypertrophy and presents as an irreducible hernia. We describe a case of appendix epiploica in a 37-year-old male patient with a strangulated right inguinal hernia that was herniated to the right inguinal canal. Considering the superiority of laparoscopy to open technique for viewing the hernia contents, we planned laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal surgery. In the exploration, an indirect hernia was observed in the right groin. Inside was the strangulated appendages epiploica, which extended from the sigmoid colon wall. Anterior wall inguinal hernioplasty was performed. In conclusion, it should not be ignored that there may be appendix epiploica within the hernia sac in inguinal hernias and laparoscopic approaches should be the treatment method of choice. |
