Case report for a patient with an inguinal hernia diagnosed with an Amyand’s hernia during surgery

Amyand’s hernia is rare, occurs when the appendix is located within the hernial sac, is difficult to diagnose prior to surgery, and is considered to be discovered during surgery.

description Amyand’s hernia is rare, occurs when the appendix is located within the hernial sac, is difficult to diagnose prior to surgery, and is considered to be discovered during surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: A 4-year-old child was brought to the medical clinic by her mother with a swelling complaint in the right inguinal region. Following clinical diagnosis and imaging tests, an indirect inguinal hernia was found to be present. It was decided to perform surgery on the child, and he was taken to the operating room and given general anesthesia. An incision was made on the right inguinal side, reaching the spermatic cord and the ostium internum, where a hernia sac was found containing the inflamed appendix. The appendix was removed from the edges of the hernia sac, tied off at its base, and cut. Finally, the hernia sac was closed without the use of a mesh, the surgical incision was closed, and the wound was dressed. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The diagnosis of inguinal hernia is initially made based on the symptoms presented by the patient, as well as through ultrasound imaging. For surgical management, there is a classification called Losanoff and Basson, which discusses the surgical treatment options necessary for different types of Amyand hernias. The hernia is classified into four types based on the clinical presentation of the patient and the condition of the appendix, and each type has its own treatment. CONCLUSION: Amyand’s hernia is an uncommon condition diagnosed during surgery.
