Laparoscopic removal of a perforating intrauterine device mimicking chronic appendicitis.

The intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) is a common form of reversible birth control. One of the rare, but serious, complications is uterine perforation. In this paper, we report a case of a patient who underwent laparoscopy for presumed chronic appendicitis.

Incarcerated femoral Littre's hernia-transperitoneal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) and laparoscopic resection of the necrotic diverticulum.

Littre's hernias in the region of a femoral hernial orifice have been described in numerous cases in the literature. Open inguinal or femoral access was selected for all surgical procedures. We are describing the first case of an incarcerated Littre's hernia in the region of a femoral hernial orifice treated by means of transperitoneal preperitoneal hernia repair with simultaneous laparoscopic resection of the diverticulum.
