“…Rarely, incarcerated femoral hernias may contain, contents other than a simple bowel loop. There have been multiple cases reported, where, an ovary has been found to be present within a femoral hernial sac [3] . A few reports of de Garengeot’s hernia exist in the literature – defined as the presence of an appendix within the femoral hernial sac [4,5] .…”

“…There have been a number of cases described where an ovary is contained within a femoral hernial sac 7. Examples however where an ovarian neoplasm has proliferated to such an extent that it causes bowel contents to herniate into the femoral canal are exceptionally rare.…”

“…Ovarian prolapse in inguinal hernias is most commonly reported in girls, but it has also been reported in women [12][13][14]. In addition to inguinal hernias, femoral hernias [15,16], umbilical hernias [17], and Spigelian hernias [18] have been reported as forms of ovarian prolapse in women. A strangulated ovary can be released by an incision of the external inguinal ring and then placed in the abdominal cavity [14].…”

External supravesical hernias with ovarian incarceration have not been reported previously. Here, we describe transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair of an external supravesical hernia with ovarian incarceration. A 68-year-old woman presented to our outpatient clinic with the chief complaint of right inguinal swelling and pain. A 3-cm-diameter mass in the right inguinal region that was difficult to reduce was palpable, and computed tomography (CT) revealed a suspicious lesion of the right hydrocele of the canal of Nuck. Hydrocelectomy was performed through an inguinal incision, and the external inguinal ring was repaired using the Marcy method. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of the canal of Nuck. Three months postoperatively, the patient again presented with right inguinal pain, and CT revealed a right femoral hernia requiring surgical repair. Intraoperative findings revealed a right external supravesical hernia with an incarcerated ovary, which was laparoscopically reduced and repaired with a mesh. At the three-month follow-up, there were no postoperative complications or recurrences. Incarcerated ovaries with inguinal hernias have been reported in girls; however, incarcerated ovaries with external supravesical hernias have not been reported in women. Although the preoperative diagnosis was difficult to make in this case, the laparoscopic approach led to the diagnosis and successful mesh repair. Although optimal mesh repair of external supravesical hernias using TAPP has not been established, we believe that 2-5 cm around the hernial orifice, the Hesselbach triangle, and the lateral triangle should be covered with mesh.
