Zusammenfassung:	In 2000-2001 two patients with acute appendicitis in the right inguinal hernia (Amyand's hernia) and the symptoms of incarcerated hernia were operated on in emergency. One patient with the symptoms of local peritonitis was subjected to hernioplasty and appendectomy. The second underwent midline inferior laparotomy, because of diffuse peritonitis with appendectomy and hernioplasty. Both patients were operated by Shouldice's method. None of the patients developed recurrent disease. The presented cases point to the necessity of considering acute appendicitis in the differential diagnosis of incarcerated right inguinal hernia.
