Amyand's hernia is a rare form of an inguinal hernia (less than 1% of inguinal hernias)[1] which occurs when the appendix is included in the hernial sac and becomes incarcerated. The condition is an eponymous disease named after a French surgeon, Claudius Amyand (1660–1740),[2] who performed the first successful appendectomy in 1735.[3]
