RESUMEN
La presencia del apéndice cecal en el saco de una hernia inguinal se denomina hernia de Amyand1,2. Su incidencia varía ‒según distintos autores‒ del 0,13% al 1,7%. Es una rara patología que se diagnostica intraoperatoriamente, ya que su diagnóstico preoperatorio es excepcional. No obstante, en citas bibliográficas se han descripto pocos casos de diagnóstico intraoperatorio, por lo que es importante tener la sospecha clínica en hernias incarceradas de cara al diagnóstico diferencial y a valorar la solicitud de estudios diagnóstico. Su tratamiento es la apendicectomía o reducción del apéndice cecal a la cavidad abdominal asociada a herniorrafia o hernioplastia³.
ABSTRACT
Amyand’s hernia is defined as an inguinal hernia containing the vermiform appendix1,2. This rare condition, with an incidence between 0.13% and 1.7%, is diagnosed during surgery, as the preoperative diagnosis is exceptional. Few cases of intraoperative diagnosis have been described in the literature. The diagnosis should be suspected in cases of incarcerated hernias so as to order the specific tests. The surgical management includes appendectomy or appendix reduction to the abdominal cavity associated to mesh repair or primary hernia repair without mesh³.
