vermiform appendix in a groin hernia is
defined as Amyand’s hernia. Amyand’s hernia is rare during the newborn period, especially in premature babies. Amyand’s hernia
is usually detected during surgery in patients who are operated for
incarcerated or strangulated hernia during the newborn
period. In this case report, our aim was to present a case of Amyand’s hernia
which was operated due to right strangulated hernia and adherent appendix vermiformis was seen in hernia sac during the
surgery. Because appendix vermiform was inflamed and adherent to the sac, and
there were findings of peritonitis during the surgery appendectomy was
performed with hernioplasty. With this
case report, we want to remind that
appendix vermiformis may be found in the
sac of an inguinal hernia during the neonatal period and we planned to discuss the
conditions in which appendectomy should be performed. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={M. Tayyib KADAK}
