Abstract
A hernia is an abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue from its containing cavity. The most common type of abdominal hernia is an inguinal hernia. When a hernia is non-reducible, it is termed an incarcerated hernia. We present one such rare case of an incarcerated appendix within a right inguinal hernia, also called Amyand's hernia (AH). We discuss current approaches toward surgically repairing this type of complicated hernia and a complication that can arise if it is not repaired in a timely manner.
