Abstract:
The presence of vermiform appendix in inguinal hernia, referred to as Amyand’s hernia, is rare occurring in about 1% of inguinal hernias. This is a report of Amyand’s hernia, which presented as a sliding component along with enterocele in a right inguinal hernia in a 27-year-old male patient. Appendicectomy and hernioplasty were performed, with an uneventful postoperative recovery.
