Popis: Laparoscopic repair of De Garengeot hernia is recommended for its association with decreased postoperative pain and faster return to normal activities. A 65-year-old female patient presented with painful right inguinal swelling, and surgery was indicated due to suspected omentum incarceration in a femoral hernia detected via computed tomography. Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair with appendectomy was performed, with satisfactory postoperative results and no evidence of recurrence after 2 years. Placing polypropylene mesh preperitoneally provides a natural barrier against potential sources of infection, and it is recommended to improve postoperative outcomes.
