Appendicitis due to incarceration within a laparoscopic umbilical port-site hernia secondary to a degree of intestinal malrotation.
A 37-year-old woman presented with an incarcerated hernia at a previous umbilical laparoscopic port site. This was found to contain an ischaemic appendix, which was managed successfully with open appendicectomy and a mesh repair. Previous imaging from a year prior to these events demonstrated a degree of intestinal malrotation with the caecal pole lying just under the umbilicus. Finding the appendix within an incisional port site is very rare, for this to occur at the umbilicus is unique.
