Amyand's Hernia: A Rare Case Study of Perforated Appendicitis in an Inguinal Hernia.

Amyand's hernia is defined as the presence of an appendix contained within an inguinal hernia. An inguinal hernia is the protrusion of a small or large bowel through a peritoneal defect of the groin. In rare cases, the appendix can become incarcerated or strangulated within the hernia, cutting off the blood supply to the organ.
