Debido a la baja frecuencia en la presentación de este tipo de hernia, resulta interesante analizar el caso de un paciente masculino de 80 años con cuadro clínico de dolor inguinal derecho de inicio súbito e imágenes compatibles con una hernia inguinal derecha complicada. El hallazgo del apéndice cecal durante el tiempo operatorio resulta impactante, donde finalmente se decide realizar una hernioplastía asociada a apendicectomía. Es conocido que la hernioplastía está entre los procedimientos más frecuentes y con técnicas quirúrgicas estandarizadas. Sin embargo, en la literatura encontramos divergencia sobre el manejo adecuado de una hernia tipo Amyand. Por tanto, tras una revisión bibliografía motivada por el caso, es posible considerar que para la reparación final de una hernia de Amyand debe tomar en cuenta a la presentación clínicas y patológica de cada paciente, la experiencia del cirujano y los insumos disponibles en el ámbito intrahospitalario para mayor beneficio que guiarán la mejor terapia para el paciente.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Amyand's hernia is a rare type of inguinal hernia presentation whose content is the cecal appendix, with reports of an incidence lower than 1%. Due to the low frequency in the presentation of this type of hernia, it is interesting to analyze the case of an 80-year-old male patient with a clinical case of sudden onset right inguinal pain, with CT scan compatible with a complicated right inguinal hernia. The finding of the cecal appendix in the hernial sac comes on as a surprise, where finally it was decided to perform a hernioplasty associated with an appendectomy. It is known that hernioplasty is among the most frequent procedures with standardized surgical techniques. However, in the literature, we find disagreements about the proper management of an Amyand-type hernia. Therefore, after a review of the bibliography that was motivated by the case, it is possible to consider that for the final repair of an Amyand hernia, the clinical and pathological presentation of each patient, the experience of the surgeon and the supplies available in the operating room must be taken into account for a greater benefit that will guide the best therapy for the patient.]]></p></abstract>
