PreOp® Patient Education Hernia Repair - Inguinal (Open) V

Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO
In general terms, we can say that a hernia occurs when the layers that make up the abdominal wall weaken. In other words, the fabric of muscle and other tissues which protect the gut, develops a defect, or weakness. Through that defect the peritoneum (PER-IT-TA-NEE-UM) - and perhaps other organs - push their way outward, forming a lump which can be felt - and sometimes seen - protruding from the abdomen.

If those organs cannot slide easily back into the abdomen,the hernia is said to be irreducible. Irreducible hernias are often painful and can lead to complications.

For example, if the intestine becomes trapped in the hernia sack it is said to be incarcerated.
If the neck of the hernia sack actually pinches off the supply of blood to those organs which have become trapped inside, the hernia is said to be strangulated.

incarcerated means irreducible. If the content of the hernial sac were not intestines, but the fatty tiisue, you could have not experienced any pain

I had no idea mine was incarcerated until after the operation my surgeon told me. Strangely, I had no pre-operation pain.
