Inguinal hernias are typically classified based on their location and can be divided into two types. The most commonly seen inguinal hernias are direct and indirect, which can both potentially require surgical intervention. When both types of hernias are seen simultaneously, it is classified as a pantaloon hernia. This case describes an instance of a femoral hernia being found along with a pantaloon hernia. We present a case of what was projected to be a common inguinal hernia repair but progressed to a rare presentation of a femoral hernia superimposed on a pantaloon hernia. Pantaloon hernias plus a femoral hernia is a rare defect that does not present as often as the different types of isolated hernias.

Littré hernia is the rare protrusion of a Meckel's diverticulum (MD) through a hernia sac. We present a rare case of strangulated MD in a woman patient in her 90s, which required a small intestine resection. She presented with 1 day of groin swelling, no features of bowel obstruction and an irreducible hernia on examination.

Sciatic hernia, a rare type of pelvic floor hernia, presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the first totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair of a sciatic hernia, which was performed in a 63-year-old woman who presented with vomiting and poor dietary intake. Computed tomography revealed a strangulated femoral hernia and an incidental herniation of the sigmoid colon through the right sciatic foramen.

An obturator hernia (OH) is a rare type of hernia that accounts for a very small proportion of all hernias and cases of small bowel obstruction. This condition predominantly affects older, underweight individuals, with the vast majority of patients being women. Laparotomy with simple suture closure of the defect is commonly used as surgical treatment for OH.
