		Direct Hernia - Direct hernias are the result of a weakness or a tear in the floor of the inguinal canal.
		Indirect Hernia - An indirect hernia occurs at the internal inguinal ring, which is the opening in the abdominal wall muscle where the spermatic cord contains structures that travel from the abdomen to the scrotum.
		Indirect inguinal hernias may be a result of an increase in intra-abdominal pressure during strenuous activities, such as lifting or straining, during sports, or they may be congenital.

		A hernia occurs when part of an organ (usually the intestines) protrudes through a weak point or tear in the thin muscular wall that holds the abdominal organs in place.
		The hernia (bulge) may not be obvious in infants and children, except when the child is crying or coughing.

	Hernia Repair \| AHealthyMe.com
		Hernia repair is a surgical procedure to return an organ that protrudes through a weak area of muscle to its original position.
		Hernia repairs are performed in a hospital or outpatient surgical facility by a general surgeon.
		It is called a femoral hernia repair because it is near the spot where the femoral artery and vein pass from the leg into the trunk of the body.

	Could That Lump Be a Hernia?
		In infants, an inguinal hernia is most often caused by a protrusion of a loop of intestine or a fold of membrane from the abdomen - or in girls, an ovary or fallopian tube - through an opening into the groin (the area where the abdomen meets the top of the thigh).
		Inguinal hernias occur far more often in boys than girls and are most common in children with cystic fibrosis, undescended testicles, a urethra that opens on an unusual part of the penis, or in premature infants.
		Inguinal hernia surgery in children is usually performed on an outpatient basis with no overnight stay in the hospital, but some kids, particularly young infants, may be kept in the hospital overnight for observation.

		Hernias are brought to the attention of an emergency physician either during a routine physical examination or when the patient has developed a complication associated with the hernia.
		Richter hernia can occur with any of the various abdominal hernias and is particularly dangerous, as a portion of strangulated bowel may be reduced unknowingly into the abdominal cavity, leading to perforation and peritonitis.
		This rare form of abdominal wall hernia occurs through a defect in the spigelian fascia, which is defined by the lateral edge of the rectus muscle at the semilunar line (costal arch to the pubic tubercle).

		A hernia may develop in almost any part of the body; however, the muscles of the abdominal wall are most commonly affected.
		This type of hernia, which accounts for about 75 percent of all abdominal hernias, is often the result of increased pressure in the abdomen because of lifting, coughing, or straining.
		This type of hernia is often due to strain on healing tissues by excessive muscular effort, lifting, coughing, or extreme pressure.

	Hernia - Mark Fusco MD
		Hernias commonly develop in an area of weakness including natural spaces and thin tissue, such as the internal inguinal ring and the floor of the inguinal canal.
		If the hernia continues to be incarcerated (trapped) for some time then the contents of the hernia, which is most commonly bowel, will become swollen and there will be compromise of the blood supply to the bowel.
		Hernias are fixed with surgery both to eliminate pain and to correct or prevent a dangerous strangulated hernia.

		The greatest risk from a hernia is the development of intestinal incarceration and strangulation, with a reported incidence of up to 30% in infants less than 2 months of age.
		In 70% of incarcerated infant hernias, it may be possible to reduce the hernia and to convert an emergency operation to a semi-elective procedure.
		Depending upon factors such as the size of the hernia and the speed of the surgeon, regional anesthesia may be an option for this type of surgery.

		Hernias is adults are often thought of as a "rupture" of muscle that allows an outpouching of the contents of the abdomen.
		Inguinal hernias in children are the result of a persistent connection between the inside of the abdomen and the scrotum (or labia).
		Hernias are found in as many as 30% of prematurely born babies because birth occurs before natural closure of the sac has been completed.

	Inguinal hernia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inguinal hernias protrusions of abdominal cavity contents through an area of the abdominal wall commonly referred to as the groin, and known in anatomic language as the inguinal area or the myopectineal orifice.
		Inguinal hernias usually arise as a consequence of the descent of the testis from the abdomen into the scrotum during early fetal life.
		The most common groin hernia, the indirect inguinal hernia protrudes through the inguinal ring and is ultimately the result of the failure of embryonic closure of the internal inguinal ring after the testicle passes through it.

		A hernia in these areas may be congenital (from birth) or acquired later on in life (from lifting or straining).
		When the hernia defect is congenital, it is secondary to a structure that causes a weakness in the abdominal wall at birth.
		Etiology of the incisional hernia is related to surgical technique, infection stresses in the postoperative period, and general health of the patient.

		The abdominal tissue or a loop of intestine may become trapped (incarcerated) in the sac of the hernia.
		However, in males there is a chance that surgery or an incarcerated hernia can cause injury to the vas deferens, the tube that carries sperm from the testicles to the urethra.
		Incarceration, when intestinal or abdominal tissue becomes trapped in the sac of a hernia, occurs in 9% to 20% of affected infants, most of the time before the infant is 1 year old.

		A hernia may be likened to a failure in the sidewall of a pneumatic tire.
		Inguinal hernias are further divided into the more common "indirect inguinal hernia", in which the inguinal canal is entered via a congenital weakness at its apex, and the "direct" type, where the hernia contents push through a weak spot in its back wall.
		A hiatus hernia is a particular variant of the latter in which the normal passageway through which the esophagus meets the stomach serves as a functional "defect", allowing part of the stomach to periodically "herniate" into the chest.

	BWH General and Gastrointestinal Surgery Hernia Overview
		Hernia surgeries are some of the most commonly performed procedures done by general surgeons.
		Hernias become noticeable when a "sac" of fat, tissue or intestine from within the abdomen protrudes from the hernia defect.
		This is termed an "incarcerated hernia." If the blood supply to the loop of intestines is cut off, then the intestine can become "strangulated." This is considered a surgical emergency.

		An incarcerated hernia is at increased risk of strangulation, which means blood supply to the hernia contents has been compromised.
