Abstract

An incarcerated femoral hernia is a pathology that an emergency surgeon often encounters. In the domestic medical literature, there are isolated reports of cases of acute appendicitis with a femoral hernia. The article provides a detailed description of this pathology. The presented example demonstrates the features of the symptoms, the difficulties that arise in the differential diagnosis of this disease, and also describes one of the possible options for surgical intervention.

Keywords: acute appendicitis, femoral hernia, Garengio hernia, strangulated femoral hernia.
