Özet

Background: Acute appendicitis in an inguinal hernia that has been called as "Amyand's Hernia" since the day on which Claudius Amyand has described the condition. That was the first appendectomy ever reported in the literature. The incidence of acute appendicitis in an inguinal hernia is 0,13 % of all cases with acute appendicitis. Herein, the patients diagnosed with Amyand's hernia are evaluated retrospectively.
