RESUMO
Amyand's hernia (AH) occurs when the appendix becomes part of an inguinal hernia. Amyand's hernias are typically discovered incidentally during surgery due to their variable clinical manifestations and features, such as caecum and appendix forming the sliding component in the present case. Claudius Amyand operated it for the first time in 1735. Due to the simple presentations that these patients typically exhibit, the diagnosis is extremely challenging. The choice between surgical modalities is influenced by the numerous, logically accepted advantages and disadvantages of management modalities, which are subject to debate. That being said, we believe that, in the absence of sepsis or inflammation, open repair using mesh - as long as a clean operating room and competent surgical skill are available - should be the gold standard approach.
