Pak J Surg Jan ;22(3):181-2.

Hernia containing the vermiform appendix is known as the Amyand`s hernia. It is a rare condition that occurs in about one percent of the cases of inguinal hernia. This is the report of a case of Amyand`s hernia in a 24 years old male patient. As the appendix was not inflamed, hence it was not removed and replaced in the abdominal cavity. The indirect inguinal hernia was repaired with darning.
