De Garengeot's hernia patients entirely treated laparoscopically: a safe and feasible alternative-a systematic review.

Purpose: Less than 450 cases of femoral hernias containing the vermiform appendix have been published since De Garengeot's first description. A laparoscopic treatment option opened 15 years ago seems reliable and safe. A literature review of all the patients who have benefited from this new therapeutic alternative is presented.
