Description
Summary:Comments are made on acute hernial  appendicitis. It is mentioned that, normally, diagnosis is strangulated hernia, although in this particular case mention shouldbe made .of the scarce general repercussion and frequent absence or very slight variance in fever. Thesurgical approach, when the appendix is whole in the sac, is appendectomy through the hernial sac. If the base is within the abdomen, the approach must be through the abdomen so as to secure the base f the appendix, removing it immediately through the hernia! sac. If it is an hernia! appendicular peritonitis, the sac is drained and the visceral content is not reducedwithin the abdomen, leaving the hernia treatment for a future instance.
