  • Title: Amyand's hernia: a case report of an incarcerated and perforated appendix within an inguinal hernia and review of the literature.
    Author: Logan MT, Nottingham JM.
    Journal: Am Surg; 2001 Jul; 67(7):628-9. PubMed ID: 11450774.
    Abstract:
    Appendicitis within an Amyand's hernia is rare; when it occurs it is often misdiagnosed as a strangulated inguinal hernia. We present a case report of such a case and a review of the literature. It is our recommendation that repair should be undertaken without the use of synthetic mesh through a properitoneal incision that gives access to the peritoneal cavity and the inguinal regions.
