We report a case of a 68-year-old woman who presented during the COVID-19 pandemic with an acute right groin pain due to a tender incarcerated inguinal hernia. Cross-sectional imaging confirmed an Amyand\u2019s hernia. She proceeded to open appendectomy via the inguinal canal and primary suture repair of her inguinal hernia. Patient was discharged the following day. Surgical management of Amyand\u2019s hernia varies depending on the resources, clinical findings and personal experience. In our opinion and experience, open hernia reduction, appendectomy and primary tissue repair repairs the most effective and appropriate approach especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjab153","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,1]],"date-time":"2021-04-01T19:14:01Z","timestamp":1617304441000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Strangulated Amyand\u2019s hernia: management during the COVID-19 pandemic"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2021","author":[{"given":"Zeeshan","family":"Afzal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cambridge Oesophago-gastric Centre, Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge CB2 2QQ, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"O\u2019Neill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cambridge Oesophago-gastric Centre, Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge CB2 2QQ, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021070811412451700_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"329","DOI":"10.1098\/rstl.1735.0071","article-title":"1735 VIII.
