Abstract

De Garengeot and Richter hernias are rare types of groin hernias, each with distinct features and clinical challenges. A De Garengeot hernia involves the appendix within a femoral hernia sac, while a Richter hernia involves partial bowel wall herniation, often without obstruction. Both conditions are more common in women due to the higher prevalence of femoral hernias. The simultaneous occurrence of these two hernias is extremely rare, with only one previously reported case. This article presents a unique case involving both hernia types, highlighting diagnostic and surgical considerations.
