Abstract

Presence of appendix vermiformis in the inguinal hernia sac is called Amyand hernia. It is seen in less than 1% of all cases of inguinal hernia; therefore its diagnosis and treatment is very important. A 59-year-old male patient admitted to our emergency service with right incarcerated inguinal hernia which was reduced during physical examination. Accepting all the possible risks, the patient did not agree to receive clinic follow- up and operation. During his elective operation, Amyand hernia was discovered and surgically treated. The purpose of this study is to present an inguinal hernia case which has an important place in the general surgery practice and its rarely seen subtype based on anamnesis and performed surgery in the light of the literature.

Özet

Kasık fıtığı kesesi içerisinde apendix vermiformisin bulunmasına Amyand herni ismi verilmektedir. Tüm kasık fıtıkları içinde %1’inden az oranda görülen bu durumun tanınması ve tedavisi özellik göstermektedir. Acil servisimize inkarsere sağ inguinal herni ile başvuran 59 yaşındaki erkek hasta, fizik muayenede inkarsere hernisinin redükte olması nedeniyle oluşabilecek tüm riskleri kabul ederek servis takibini ve cerrahi operasyonu kabul etmemiştir. Hastanın elektif ameliyatında Amyand herniye rastlanmış ve cerrahi olarak tedavi edilmiştir. Genel cerrahi pratiğinde önemli bir yere sahip olan kasık fıtıklarının içinde nadir rastlanan olgunun anemnezi ile birlikte uygulanan cerrahi tekniğin literatür eşliğinde sunulması amaçlanmıştır.
