Exactly what are the several types of abs hernias?

Hernias of the belly and pelvic floor

Inguinal hernias are the most frequent of the belly hernias. The inguinal canal is the opening that
allows the spermatic cord and testicle to descend from within the abdomen where they develop in a
fetus into the scrotum. After the testicle descends, the opening is supposed to close tightly but
sometimes the muscles that attach to the pelvis leave a weak area. In women, therefore, inguinal
hernias are less likely to occur since there is no need for a long lasting opening in the inguinal canal.

A femoral laxitud may occur through the opening in the floor of the abdomen where the femoral
artery and vein pass through to the leg. Because of their wider bone framework, femoral hernias
tend to occur more frequently in women.

Obturator hernias are the least common hernia of the pelvic floor. These kinds of are mostly found in
women who have had multiple pregnancies or who have lost significant weight. The hernia occurs
through the obturator canal, another connection of the stomach cavity to the lower leg, and contains
the obturator artery, vein, and neural.

Hernias of the informe belly wall

The stomach wall is made upward of muscles that mirror the other person from right and left. These
include the rectus abdominus as well as the internal obliques, the external obliques, and the
transversalis. Diastasis recti is not just a true hernia but rather a weakening of the membrane where
the two rectus abdominus muscles from the left and right come together.

When epigastric hernias occur in infants, they occur because of a weakness in the midline of the abs
wall where the two rectus muscles join together involving the breastbone and belly button.
Sometimes this weakness would not become evident until later in adult life as it becomes a pooch in
the upper stomach.

The belly button, or umbilicus, is when the umbilical cord attached the baby to mother allowing
blood circulation to the fetus. Umbilical hernias cause unusual bulging in the stomach button and
are extremely common in newborns and often do not need treatment unless issues occur. Some
umbilical hernias enlarge and may require repair.

Spigelian hernias occur on the exterior edges of the rectus abdominus muscle and are rare.
Incisional hernias occur as a complication of stomach surgery, where the abs muscles are cut to
permit the surgeon to enter the abs cavity to operate. Although the muscle is usually repaired, it
becomes a relative area of weak point, potentially allowing belly internal organs to herniate through
the incision.

Hernias of the diaphragm

Hiatal hernias occur when part of the belly slides through the opening in the diaphragm where the
esophagus passes from the chest into the stomach. A sliding hiatal laxitud is the most typical type
and occurs when the lower esophagus and portions of the stomach slide through the diaphragm to
the upper body. Paraesophageal hernias occur when only the stomach bulges into the chest together
with the esophagus. This can lead to serious issues of obstruction or the stomach twisting after itself
(volvulus).

Traumatic diaphragmatic hernias may occur due to major injury where straight-forward trauma
weakens or cry the diaphragm muscle allowing immediate or delayed herniation of abs organs to the
chest cavity. This may also occur after infiltrating trauma from a stab or gunshot wound.

Inborn diaphragmatic hernias are uncommon and result from failure of the diaphragm to completely
form and close during embrionario development. This can guide to failure of the lungs to fully
develop and decreased lung functionality if abs organs move in to the chest. The most common type
is a Bochdalek hernia at the side edge of the diaphragm. Morgagni hernias are uncommon and are a
disappointment of the front of the diaphragm.
