Amyand hernia is described presence of appendices
vermiformis in inguinal hernia sac. The incidence of Amyand
hernia is approximately 1% of all hernias. There are many treatment
procedures of Amyand’s hernia. Since Amyand hernia is extremely
rare and there are many controversial surgical managements, we
wanted to share our case. We have encountered a Amyand hernia
case during right inguinal hernia repair surgery. Treatment method
and outcome were evaluated. Twentyone-year-old male patient was
suffering from right groin pain and swelling for almost one year. He
was operated with the diagnosis of right inguinal hernia, electively.
Intraoperative exploration revealed Amyand hernia, appendectomy
and hernia repair were performed using polypropylene patch with
same incision. The patient’s postoperative course remained without
complication and after 3 days he was discharged. Amyand hernia
which especially difficult to diagnose preoperatively, particularly in
terms of therapeutic approach, the debate continues, is extremely
rare entity. There is no current consensus about appendectomy and
using patch. We think that; regardless of the appendix is inflamed
or noninflamed, appendectomy should be done. If the appendix
is inflamed or perforated, prosthetic materials shouldn’t be used
and while repairing hernia, anatomic repair or biological materials
resistant to infection should be used.
