| Popis: | We present three cases where an inflamed incarcerated appendix was in a femoral, inguinal, and an umbilical hernia. All three patients underwent an appendectomy laparoscopically. The hernias in two of the patients (femoral and inguinal) were left unrepaired as the primary goal was to relieve the patients' symptoms and achieve source control. The hernia was repaired primarily in the patient with an umbilical hernia intraoperatively. At three months follow-up, none of the patients had a clinically visible hernia. |
