A hernia is an abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue from its containing cavity. The most common type of abdominal hernia is an inguinal hernia. When a hernia is non-reducible, it is termed an incarcerated hernia. We present one such rare case of an incarcerated appendix within a right inguinal hernia, also called Amyand's hernia (AH). We discuss current approaches toward surgically repairing this type of complicated hernia and a complication that can arise if it is not repaired in a timely manner.
疝是指器官或组织从其所在腔隙异常突出。最常见的腹外疝类型是腹股沟疝。当疝不能回纳时，称为嵌顿疝。我们报告了1例罕见的右侧腹股沟疝内阑尾嵌顿病例，也称为阿米亚德疝（AH）。我们讨论了手术修复这类复杂疝的当前方法以及如果不及时修复可能出现的一种并发症。
