Intra-abdominally the appendix was found in a femoral hernia sac (De Garengeot\u2019s hernia). A laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair procedure was performed with uneventful post-operative course.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Clinical presentation of this type of hernia is unspecific and often not to be distinguished from a common incarcerated hernia. Computed tomography can be helpful in obtaining a diagnosis, although the definite diagnosis is mostly found intraoperatively. As surgical options are numerous, there is no consensus on the most suitable one. A laparoscopic approach incorporates the benefit of a total abdominal overview and the possibility of standard procedures. If the appendix appears normal, the use of synthetic mesh is considered safe and an incidental appendectomy is not necessarily required.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjab083","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,18]],"date-time":"2021-02-18T12:31:38Z","timestamp":1613651498000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["An
