See acute appendicitis is an emergency
And the diagnosis of appendicitis
Is by clinical in adults
And USG is the choice in children for diagnosis
In ur case first
What are the clinical findings
Is there
Fever
Vomiting
What about TLC count
So this parameter we have to see
And
Than we have to take decision
For surgery
Hernia is not emergency
U can operate after also
Appendicitis if it for abcess
Than we don't go for surgery directly
We give oschner and sherin regimen
So
In ur case I would suggest just visit a good surgeon
And see as a said
Thank you 🤘

It is not ideal to operate for both the conditions at the same time. Better to do appendicectomy alone first.

Go for appendicitis first ,as it has formed abscess , there is always a possibility of mesh getting infected,
If it's umbilical hernia, primary closure can be done while doing lap app.
