What are different types of stomach hernias?

Hernias of the abs and pelvic floor

Inguinal hernias are the most frequent of the stomach 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 expected 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 because there is no need for a everlasting opening in the inguinal
canal.

A femoral hernia 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 are mostly found in women
who have experienced 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 abs wall

The abs wall is made up of muscles that reflection the other person from right and left. These
include the rectus abdominus as well since the internal obliques, the external obliques, and the
transversalis. Diastasis recti is not really 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
stomach walls where the two rectus muscles join together between the breastbone and belly button.
Sometimes this weakness will not become evident until later in adult life as it becomes a pooch in
the upper belly.

The belly button, or umbilicus, is when the umbilical cord attached the baby to mother allowing
blood vessels circulation to the unborn infant. Umbilical hernias cause irregular bulging in the
stomach button and are extremely common in newborns and frequently 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 belly surgery, where the stomach muscles are cut
allowing the surgeon to enter the abs cavity to operate. Even though the muscle is usually repaired,
it becomes a relative area of weakness, potentially allowing abs internal organs to herniate through
the incision.

Hernias of it

Hiatal hernias occur when part of the belly slides through the opening in it where the esophagus
passes from the chest into the belly. A sliding hiatal laxitud is the most typical type and occurs when
the lower esophagus and portions of the stomach slide through the diaphragm in to the chest
muscles. Paraesophageal hernias occur when only the stomach bulges into the chest alongside 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 holes the diaphragm muscle allowing immediate or delayed herniation of stomach
organs into the chest cavity. This may also occur after penetrating trauma from a stab or gunshot
wound.

Inborn diaphragmatic hernias are rare and are caused by 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 function if belly organs migrate 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
failure of the front of the diaphragm.
