“…AH occurs most often in childhood due to persistent processus vaginalis and the incidence of inguinal hernia in men. These hernias are also more frequent on the right side, as found in the reported patient, although it is not ruled out that they can occur on the left side due to mobile cecum, situs inversus, or malrotation (8,9,11,27,29).…”

“…With regards to mesh repair, the traditional approach has been to avoid it whenever signs of inflammation are present. Some, however, argue that even with mild signs of inflammation, the benefit of the mesh repair and the low likelihood of progression once the appendix is outside of the hernia sac, outweighs the concern for progression of inflammation [ 14 , 16 ].

Some suggest appendectomy for all left-sided Amyand’s hernia while others are in favour of appendectomy only if it is inflamed 3. Losanoff and Basson proposed a classification system for staging and management of Amyand’s hernia—all involving hernia repair 3.…”

“…Some suggest appendectomy for all left-sided Amyand’s hernia while others are in favour of appendectomy only if it is inflamed 3. Losanoff and Basson proposed a classification system for staging and management of Amyand’s hernia—all involving hernia repair 3. Reduction and mesh repair are only recommended for normal appendix while appendectomy and repair of a hernia without using mesh are recommended if there is any evidence of appendicitis (stages 2–4) 1.…”
