Abstract
Background: Amyand hernia is an unusual type of inguinal hernia when vermiform appendix is identified as its content. This constitutes less than 1% of all groin hernia sac.
Case Representation: We present successful mesh hernioplasty following appendectomy in a rare case of inguinal hernia with inflamed appendix as its content (Type 2) in an elderly man with no clinical signs of appendicitis.
Conclusion: Amyand’s hernia is less frequently seen, hard to diagnose preoperatively. Therefore the authors emphasise that the young surgeons are well-read, and adequately prepared to take prompt decisions intraoperatively for the patient’s safe recovery after the surgery.
