Management of Strangulated Inguinal Hernia

Abstract

A hernia occurs when an internal organ pushes through a weak spot in the body’s muscle or tissue. Inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias are anterior abdominal wall hernias, whereas hiatal hernias or gastrocoeles are hernias at the junction of the stomach and esophagus. The latter type of hernia often causes reflux. This book discusses different types of hernias and hernia treatments. BT - Hernia Updates and Approaches
