abstract: The presence of the appendix in an inguinal hernial sac is described as Amyand's hernia. It is a rare
entity which presents mostly at the exploration of the inguinal canal. The appendix may be apparently normal or
have all the features of acute appendicitis with its possible complications. We report four cases of Amyand's hernia
which were treated at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Oman. All patients underwent appendectomy. In three
cases, the inguinal hernia were repaired with Vipro mesh while, in the remaining case, a darning repair was done
with Prolene sutures.
