ABSTRACT
An Amyand’s hernia refers to the presence of a vermiform appendix within an inguinal hernia sac. The incidence of
this rare condition varies in the literature, ranging from 0.19% to 1.7% of the reported inguinal hernia cases. The
clinical presentation is similar to that of an incarcerated or strangulated hernia. In the case presented here, a noninflamed
appendix and adherent caecum were detected during a surgery performed for an incarcerated recurrent
inguinal hernia. After a prophylactic appendectomy was performed, a mesh was applied for the hernia repair
