Amyand's hernia corresponds to the presence of the appendix in an inguinal hernial sac, a rare entity. Diagnosis is usually made during surgery. Treatment is increasingly standardized and depends on the condition of the appendix. We report the case of a 34-year-old patient who underwent emergency surgery for a strangulated inguinal hernia, where the hernial sac contained a pudgy, swollen appendix. The operation involved appendectomy and hernia repair using the Bassini technique. The management of this hernia raised two issues: whether or not to perform an appendectomy, and whether to use a plate when repairing the hernia.
