%X Inguinal hernias are among the most common cases presented to a surgeon. In spite of extensive research and clinical experience over centuries, inguinal hernias still pose anatomical challenges for operating surgeons, especially with a propensity for recurrence. One such complicated entity is the Amyand's hernia - defined as an inguinal hernia contained within the hernial sac - the vermiform appendix - as the herniated content. It is a rare clinical presentation and carries with it certain complexities with regard to operative decisions and clinical management. We present a case of a 71-year-old male presenting with a recurrent inguinal hernia, with an incarcerated, inflamed appendix as the content; managed surgically with appendicectomy and herniorraphy, without the use of a prosthetic mesh.
