abdominal wall hernias
Abdominal hernias (herniae also used) may be congenital or acquired and come with varying eponyms. They are distinguished primarily based on location and content. 75-80% of all hernias are inguinal.
Content of the hernia is variable, and may include:
- small bowel loops
- mobile colon segments (sigmoid, cecum, appendix)
- mesenteric fat
- other viscera
Complications predominantly relate to bowel incarceration, strangulation, and intestinal obstruction. Large diaphragmatic hernias in infancy may be complicated by pulmonary hypoplasia.
Classification
- ventral: anterior and lateral abdominal hernias
- dorsal
- groin: most common
Subclassification
