Hernia repair in the inguinocrural region is one of the most frequent operations in surgical practice. The cecal appendix may be found contained in the inguinal or crural hernial sac, which is called Amyand and Garengeot hernias, respectively.

Amyand's hernia constitutes a type of inguinal hernia in which its content is the vermiform appendix. Given the rarity of the condition, it is difficult to unify criteria on the management of this pathology.

Palabras clave : Amyand's hernia; Garengeot's hernia; Appendix; Hernioplasty.
