Abstract

Amyand's hernia is a rare pathology, constituting only 1% of hernia cases, and with inflammatory appendicular pathology it corresponds to 0.1% [1] of reported cases. Open resolution is the most frequent in the literature. We present the case of a 28-year-old male patient who is treated by the Surgery service of the Enrique Garcés Hospital, in the city of Quito-Ecuador, who comes with symptoms of acute appendicitis, which is resolved laparoscopically without complications and he is discharged 24 hours later in good condition.
