Ventral Hernia A ventral hernia occurs when a weak spot in the abdomen enables abdominal tissue or an organ (such as an intestine) to protrude through a cavity muscle area. These hernias are visibly identified by a bulge in the belly area. The most common sites for ventral hernias are the site of a previous abdominal procedure (an incisional hernia), the navel (an umbilical hernia), and the groin (an inguinal hernia). About 90,000 ventral hernia repairs are performed in the United States each year.

Hernia 1 Inguinal hernia appears as a bulge in the groin or scrotum. This type is more common in men than women. 2  Incisional hernia can occur through a scar if you have had abdominal surgery.  Umbilical hernia appears as a bulge around the belly button. It occurs when the muscle around the navel does not close completely.

Femoral hernia A hernia is caused by the protrusion of a viscus (in the case of groin hernias, an intraabdominal organ) through a weakness in the containing wall. This weakness may be inherent, as in the case of inguinal, femoral and umbilical hernias. On the other hand, the weakness may be caused by surgical incision through the muscles of the abdominal/thoracic wall. Hernias occurring through these are called incisional hernias.

Human Physiology/Print Version 1 Incisional hernia can occur through a scar if you have had abdominal surgery in the past. 2  Umbilical hernia is a bulge around the belly button. It occurs when the muscle around the belly button does not close completely after birth.  Inguinal hernia is a bulge in the groin. It is more common in men.

Hernia A hernia is the exit of an organ, such as the bowel, through the wall of the cavity in which it normally resides. Hernias come in a number of different types. Most commonly they involve the abdomen, specifically the groin. Groin hernias are most common of the inguinal type but may also be femoral. Other hernias include hiatus, incisional, and umbilical hernias. For groin hernias symptoms are present in about 66% of people. This may include pain or discomfort especially with coughing, exercise, or going to the toilet.

Umbilical (navel) Hernias ~ & Other Midline Hernias (Also para-umbilical, supra-umbilical and epigastric hernias) These hernias can all be called primary midline abdominal hernias. Umbilical (navel) hernias occur actually in the middle of the navel. The inside of the navel sticks out. Sometimes the swelling is just above the navel so you will see a swelling just above the umbilicus. In fact you can get a hernia anywhere down the middle of your abdomen, from navel to breast bone. When they occur a bit higher up they are called epigastric hernias.

Hernia (Abdominal Hernia) Weak spots may develop in these layers to allow contents the abdominal cavity to protrude. The most common hernias are in the groin (inguinal hernias) and in the diaphragm (hiatal hernias). Hernias may be present at birth (congenital), or they may develop at any time thereafter (acquired).

Hernia Surgery: From Hernia Diagnosis to Repair A hernia can happen in many different areas of the body. The most common, though, are in the abdomen and groin areas. 1  Inguinal Hernia is one of the two types of hernias that form in the groin.  Incisional Hernia forms along the site of a surgical incision.

Understanding Hernia -- the Basics What Is a Hernia? A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot in a surrounding muscle or connective tissue called fascia. The most common types of hernia are inguinal (inner groin), incisional (resulting from an incision), femoral (outer groin), umbilical (belly button), and hiatal (upper stomach).

Frequently asked Questions about Laparoscopic repair of Incisional Hernia An incisional hernia result from a hole or defect in the layers of abdominal wall at the site of a previous surgical incision. The incidence of incisional hernia is less common after laparoscopic surgery but it is a fairly common complication after laparotomy.

Incisional hernia repair Incisional hernia repair. Definition. Incisional hernia repair is a surgical procedure performed to correct an incisional hernia. An incisional hernia, also called a ventral hernia, is a bulge or protrusion that occurs near or directly along a prior abdominal surgical incision.

Hernia The type of hernia you have depends on where it is and how it occurs: 1 • Ventral (incisional) hernias can occur through a scar after surgery in the abdomen.• Umbilical hernia appears as a bulge around the belly button.• Inguinal hernia is a bulge in the groin (more common in men).Hernias are common.

Hernia: Types, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment Incisional hernia is when tissue pushes through a surgical wound in the abdomen that has not completely healed. Umbilical hernia is when fatty tissue or a part of the bowel pushes through the abdomen close to your belly button (navel). Epigastric hernia is when fatty tissue pushes through your abdomen, between the belly button and breastbone (sternum).

Inguinal hernia A direct inguinal hernia protrudes through a weakened area in the transversalis fascia near the medial inguinal fossa within an anatomic region known as the inguinal or Hesselbach's triangle, an area defined by the edge of the rectus abdominis muscle, the inguinal ligament and the inferior

Understanding Hernia -- the Basics What Is a Hernia? A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot in a surrounding muscle or connective tissue called fascia. The most common types of hernia are inguinal (inner groin), incisional (resulting from an incision), femoral (outer groin), umbilical (belly button), and hiatal (upper stomach). In an inguinal hernia, the intestine or the bladder protrudes through the abdominal wall or into the inguinal canal in the groin.

Femoral Hernia If a portion of tissue pushes through the wall of the femoral canal, it’s called a femoral hernia. A femoral hernia will appear as a bulge near the groin or thigh. The femoral canal houses the femoral artery, smaller veins, and nerves. It’s located just below the inguinal ligament in the groin. A femoral hernia can also be called a femorocele. Women are more likely than men to suffer from a femoral hernia. Overall, femoral hernias are not common. Most hernias that affect the groin are inguinal hernias, and fewer than 3 percent of all hernias are femoral. Most femoral hernias do not cause symptoms. However, they can occasionally lead to severe problems if the hernia obstructs and blocks blood flow to your intestines.

Inguinal hernia Direct inguinal hernia. The direct inguinal hernia enters through a weak point in the fascia of the abdominal wall, and its sac is noted to be medial to the inferior epigastric vessels. Direct inguinal hernias may occur in males or females, but males are ten times more likely to get a direct inguinal hernia.

Hernia A hiatal hernia occurs when part of your stomach protrudes up through the diaphragm into the chest. The diaphragm is a sheet of muscle that helps you breathe by contracting, drawing air into the lungs. hernia occurs when an organ pushes through an opening in the muscle or tissue that holds it in place. For example, the intestines may break through a weakened area in the abdominal wall. Hernias are most common in the abdomen. However, they can also appear in the upper thigh, belly button, and groin regions.

Umbilical Hernia Diagnosis, Treatment and Surgery The belly button, or umbilicus, is often used as a place to insert instruments during laparoscopic surgery because the scar is hidden in the folds of skin. For this reason, an incisional hernia can potentially form that looks like an umbilical hernia.
