Hernias!
Definition - Protrusion of a tissue through the wall of the cavity
which normally contains it
![Page 15: ???](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814f2f550346895dbcbca5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Reducible – you can put it back in
Irreducible – you can’t
Incarcerated – you can’t put it back in
Strangulated – blood supply cut off
![Page 16: ???](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814f2f550346895dbcbca5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1) Risk factors for developing hernia Smoking, chronic cough, female, heavy lifting, previous
surgery
2) Hernia develops, initially reducible and of no concern
3) If increases in size, may become irreducible
4) Part of bowel/tissue gets trapped leading to irritation, swelling, oedema
5) Increasing size leads to further issues which may compromise blood supply
6) Hernia becomes strangulated, can lead to necrosis as no blood supply and peritonism

FemoralIncisional – ummm...through an incisionRichter’s Hernia – one side of bowel wall,
may not be an obstructionUmbilical/paraumbilicalLittre’s hernia
