Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This study seeks to discuss the management and diagnosis of Amyand's hernia, an exceedingly rare diagnosis. METHODS: The case of a 60-year-old female found to have inguinal appendicitis on preoperative computed tomography imaging is presented. RESULTS: The patient underwent concomitant laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair and appendectomy. DISCUSSION: Laparoscopic management of Amyand's hernia should be strongly considered for repair and resection.
