Perforated appendicitis in incarcerated incisional hernia sac

Abstract

Appendix vermiformis is rarely found in the abdominal wall hernias. Acute appendicitis, an additional frequent cause of the acute abdomen, can also occur in these hernia sacs. We performed appendectomy and anatomical repair to a patient who had perforated appendicitis in incarcerated incisional hernia sac. Rarely, inflamed appendix can occur in incarcerated abdominal wall hernias.
