Abdominal hernias
Original language description
A hernia is defined as an abnormal protrusion of acavity's contents, through a weakness in the wall ofthe cavity, taking with it all the linings of the cavity,although these may be markedly attenuated. Theanterior abdominal wall can be divided into twostructural/functional zones: the upper 'parachutearea' aiding respiratory movement and a lower'belly support' area. Functional failure in the abdomen may lead to epigastric and umbilical hernia inthe upper zone and to inguinal and femoral herniain the lower zone. The external abdominal hernia isthe commonest form of hernia, the most frequentvarieties being the inguinal (75%), umbilical (15%)and femoral (8.5%).Hernias can be described as reducible, incarcerated or strangulated. A reducible hernia is one inwhich the contents of the hernial sac can be manually introduced back into the abdomen while, con-versely, an irreducible or incarcerated hernia cannotbe manipulated back into the abdomen. A strangulated hernia occurs when the vascular supply tothe contents contained within the hernia is compromised, resulting in ischaemic and gangrenous tissue.
