A pantaloon hernia (dual hernia, Romberg hernia or saddle bag hernia) is defined as ipsilateral, concurrent direct and indirect inguinal hernias. Hernial sacs are present on both sides of the inferior epigastric vessels, and separated by the posterior wall of the inguinal canal brought down by the direct hernia.
An inguinal hernia occurs when soft tissues protrude through an area of weakness or a defect in your lower abdominal muscles. It's often in or near the groin area. Anybody can get an inguinal hernia, but it's more common in men than women. In some cases, an untreated hernia can become life-threatening.
An inguinal hernia is a protrusion of abdominal-cavity contents through the inguinal canal. Symptoms are present in about 66% of affected people. This may include pain or discomfort especially with coughing, exercise, or bowel movements.
An inguinal hernia occurs in the abdomen near the groin area. They develop when fatty or intestinal tissues push through a weakness in the abdominal wall near the right or left inguinal canal. If you have a hernia in or near this passageway, it results in a protruding bulge. It may be painful during movement.
An indirect hernia is not caused by weakened or injured abdominal muscles. Instead, it occurs when an area of abdominal muscle tissue called the inguinal ring fails to close up while a baby is in the mother's womb. In boys, the ring allows the testicles to drop into the scrotum, and then usually closes.
Hernioplasty is a type of hernia repair surgery where a mesh patch is sewn over the weakened region of tissue. Hernia repair surgery is one of the most common surgeries to be performed.
Hernia is a general term to describe a bulge or protrusion of an organ through the structure or muscle that usually contains it. Hernias can occur throughout the body (for instance, a herniated intervertebral disk), but most commonly occur into or through a weakness in the abdominal wall.#N#An abdominal hernia occurs when the fascia develops a tear, and the peritoneal lining “spills out.” In some cases, only an empty sac protrudes through the fascia. If the fascial defect is large enough, however, the sac can contain abdominal contents (typically, intestines).
Common symptoms of hernia vary, depending on the type. For asymptomatic hernia, the patient may have swelling or fullness at the hernia site. Although there’s little pain or tenderness, the patient may have an aching sensation that radiates into the area of the hernia.
The patient could experience nausea, vomiting, and symptoms of bowel obstruction, depending on the incarcerated tissue involved. Strangulated hernia is a hernia so tightly constricted that it compromises the blood supply of the hernia sac, leading to gangrene of the sac and its contents.
Strangulated hernia is a hernia so tightly constricted that it compromises the blood supply of the hernia sac, leading to gangrene of the sac and its contents. Common symptoms include systemic toxicity secondary to an ischemic bowel, and pain and tenderness of an incarcerated hernia that persists after reduction.
Common hernia types include: Inguinal: In this common form of hernia (75 percent of all hernias are of the inguinal variety), the intestine bulges through a weak area in the inguinal canal in the groin area. Inguinal hernias may be either direct (congenital) or indirect (acquired).
The femoral hernia was repaired by suturing the iliopubic tract to Cooper’s ligament. K41.90 Unilateral femoral hernia, without obstruction or gangrene, not specified as recurrent. The femoral canal is the path through which the femoral artery, vein, and nerve leave the abdominal cavity to enter the thigh.
Femoral hernias are particularly at risk of becoming irreducible and strangulated. Example 2: A 42-year-old female patient presents with a gangrenous Meckel’s diverticulum in a strangulated umbilical hernia sac, and is treated by dissection of diverticulomesenteric bands and diverticulectomy.
