Incarcerated Amyand’s Hernia

Abstract

A 66-year-old male patient went to the emergency room, he presented with abdominal pain in the right inguinal region. He was diagnosed with an incarcerated inguinal hernia and underwent elective surgery the day after. He had an acute appendicitis which was observed to have adhered to the right indirect hernia sac. An appendectomy and hernia repair without mesh were performed. We discuss the surgical management of this rare case and the relevant literature.
