A De Garengeot hernia describes the rare occurrence of an appendix located within a femoral hernia sac. An incidence of appendiceal inflammation associated with a De Garengeot hernia is an even rarer surgical finding. A woman in her 70s presented to a district general hospital with a two-week history of a mildly tender right-sided groin lump.

Background: Right-sided hepatectomy (RH) is the standard surgical approach for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC) due to anatomical considerations but is associated with a high risk of post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). Left-sided hepatectomy (LH) and central hepatectomy (CH) have been proposed as alternative strategies to preserve liver function, but the feasibility and outcomes of CH have not been sufficiently investigated. CH allows for greater preservation of liver parenchyma, potentially reducing the risk of PHLF.

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB), particularly when it involves the central nervous system (CNS), remains a significant clinical challenge. Cerebral tuberculoma, though rare, can present with complex symptoms that overlap with other neurological conditions, making timely diagnosis difficult. The condition demands a multidisciplinary approach for accurate diagnosis and effective management, especially in patients with multiple comorbidities.

Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia (TDH) is a rare condition, especially on the right side, often lacking specific symptoms and sometimes manifesting years after the initial trauma. This case report highlights the importance of thorough history-taking, physical examination, and radiological imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of TDH. A 41-year-old male presented with recurrent epigastric pain and respiratory problems, initially treated for gastritis without relief.

Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) combined with a right-sided aortic arch (RAA) and an aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly causing significant compressive dysphagia. Treatment options, including open surgery, thoracic endovascular aortic repair and hybrid approaches, are debated due to anatomical complexities. We report a 48-year-old female with dysphagia from symptomatic KD, RAA and ALSA, clearly delineated by preoperative computed tomography angiography.
