What is a ventral hernia? A ventral (abdominal) hernia refers to any protrusion of intestine or other tissue through a weakness or gap in the abdominal wall. Umbilical and incisional hernias are specific types of ventral hernias.
Ventral hernias of the abdomen are non-inguinal, non-hiatal defects in the fascia of the abdominal wall. They are commonly seen in clinical practice. The repair of these abdominal wall defects is a common surgery performed by general surgeons.
A ventral hernia occurs when tissue protrudes through a gap or weakness in the abdominal wall. We examine the causes and treatments for the condition.
A hernia of the abdominal wall is a protrusion of the abdominal contents through an acquired or congenital area of weakness or defect in the wall. Many hernias are asymptomatic, but some become incarcerated or strangulated, causing pain and requiring immediate surgery.
Ventral hernias are a type of abdominal hernia that commonly occurs along the midline of the abdominal wall, although they can occur at any location on the abdominal wall. Umbilical hernias are those that occur beneath or near the navel. Ventral hernias that occur at the site of a previous abdominal surgery are called incisional hernias.
An abdominal wall hernia is an opening or area of weakness in the abdominal wall through which abdominal contents can protrude. An abdominal wall hernia causes a noticeable bulge but little discomfort. The diagnosis is made by physical examination and sometimes using ultrasound. Treatment involves surgery to repair the hernia.
A ventral hernia happens when the contents of the abdomen bulge through a weak spot in the muscles of the abdominal wall. There are different types of ventral hernias, including primary abdominal, umbilical, incisional and epigastric hernias. Most ventral hernias occur in the vertical center of the abdominal wall.
