Leukotriene B4, thromboxane B2 and inflammatory products also have been discovered within herniated human disks after surgery.
In strangulation, the blood supply to the section of bowel that has herniated is cut off, and the tissue begins to die.
However, in children with inguinal hernia, this sac remains patent, or open, becoming a container into which bowels may be herniated.
A laparoscopy is an exploratory surgical procedure in which the doctor makes an incision and inserts a small tube connected to a camera to view the herniated area.
In diaphragmatic hernia repair surgery, the herniated abdominal organs are forced back into their proper position within the abdomen.
