Abstract EN
Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the persistence of the omphalomesenteric duct.
It is usually asymptomatic but may present with bleeding, infections, and intestinal obstruction.
It also may be a content of a hernia sac, a so-called Littre hernia.
Herein, we will present the case of a 75-year-old female, who suffered from a painful swelling of the right inguinal region.
Ultrasound imaging detected an inguinal hernia with incarcerated blind ending small bowel.
Immediately, a laparoscopy was conducted.
We diagnosed a right femoral hernia with an incarcerated MD.
A TAPP (transabdominal preperitoneal) procedure was performed and the MD tangential stapled.
Due to an uneventful postoperative course, the patient left the hospital after two days.
An incarceration of a MD in a femoral hernia is rare.
Tangential resection of the MD with simultaneous hernia repair in a TAPP technique seems to be a sufficient approach, when it is conducted by an experienced surgeon.
