ABSTRACT
@#<p style="text-align justify;">This is an unusual case of a 55 year old male with appendicitis caused by the incarceration of the appendix in an area of tissue reaction from a prosthetic mesh used for open inguinal hernia repair which migrated transanatomically from the right inguinal area into the right lower peritoneal cavity. Isolated appendicitis caused by such phenomenon has never been reported in current literature.</p>
