The vermiform appendix (whether inflamed or not) within a hernia is very rare occurrence. We present the unprecedented case of a normal appendix found within a Pfannenstiel incisional hernia. A diagnostic laparoscopy was performed as appendicitis was suspected. However, the tip of a normal appendix was visualised within a previous Pfannenstiel incision. Laparoscopic appendicectomy was carried successfully and the patient was discharged. The patient later returned for a successful elective laparoscopic incisional hernia repair.
疝内的阑尾(无论是否发炎)是非常罕见的情况。我们报告了一例前所未有的病例,即在Pfannenstiel切口疝内发现了正常阑尾。由于怀疑患有阑尾炎,进行了诊断性腹腔镜检查。然而,在先前的Pfannenstiel切口内看到了正常阑尾的尖端。成功进行了腹腔镜阑尾切除术,患者出院。患者后来再次前来成功接受了择期腹腔镜切口疝修补术。
