| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Amyand’s hernia is a rare type of inguinal hernia with an appendix inside an inguinal hernia sac. Most cases are diagnosed intraoperatively during hernia repair. A 66-year-old male was received at the Emergency Department with complaints of acute onset abdominal pain, vomiting, and groin swelling. The patient was diagnosed with obstructed left inguinoscrotal hernia with suspected bowel perforation. Following the emergency laparotomy, the intraoperative picture depicted a leftsided Amyand’s hernia with a perforated caecum in the hernia sac. Mobile caecum, malrotation, situs inversus, and excessively long appendix denoted it to be the prime factors for the left-sided Amyand’s hernia. A diverse range of pathological features and presentations might complicate the diagnosis and management of Amyand’s hernia and all in all treatment has to be individualized according to the intraoperative finding. | |
