Abstract

Unusual contents in inguinal hernial sac are uncommon. Appendix, ovary or urinary bladder is more frequent than other abdominal organs. To deal with an unexpected organ during surgery is a surgical dilemma. We present two cases of appendix (Amyand’s Hernia) and third one with ovary in inguinal sac.
