AMYAND’S HERNIA; CASE SERIES AND OUR TEN YEARS EXPERIENCE

Abstract

We aim to share our clinic experience with Amyand’s hernia, which is rare condition and has ongoing discussion about it’s treatment. The files of patients with Amyand’s hernia during the last ten years were reviewed retrospectively. The patients' demographic characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and early complications were assessed. Amyand's hernia was found on seven patients. All patients were male and mean age was 42. Four patients were operated with a diagnosis of strangulated right inguinal hernia, while others were undergoing elective surgery. One patient also had ileus. Inflamed appendix was viewed in two patients and normal appendix was viewed in five patients. All patients underwent appendectomy via hernia incision. Hernia have been treated with prolene mesh in four patients, using the method of darning in one patient and anatomical repair method in two patients. None of patients was observed early complications. Amyand's hernia especially has ongoing discussion in terms of treatment approach (appendectomy? or mesh application?). These cases are rare and diagnosed usually intraoperatively. The appropriate treatment approach in these cases such as performed appendectomy or not, should be decided according to the surgeon's intraoperative findings. In cases with appendicitis, hernia repair should be tought with anatomic repair, the method of darning or using biological materials resistant to infection along with using prosthetic materials.
