A CASE REPORT - AMYAND’S HERNIA
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 35
Abstract
Hernia is commonly operated in surgical department either emergency basis or as elective case. Unusual contents of hernia sac are uncommon, but are likely to be encountered by a surgeon in his career due to the frequency of hernia repair. The presence of vermiform appendix in inguinal hernias, referred to as Amyand’s hernia, is rare occurring in about 1% of inguinal hernias. This is to present our experience of unusual contents in inguinal hernia sac. Amyand’s hernia is not very often seen in the clinical practice and its pre- operative diagnosis is very difficult hence awareness of this disease condition is essential for pre-operative suspicion and even diagnosis of the condition.
