protrusion or projection of an organ or part of an organ through a membrane or a cavity wall, usually the abdominal cavity

protrusion of a part or structure through the tissues normally containing it.

An abnormal protrusion of internal organs through a weak spot in the abdomional wall, in the naval or in the groin area.

An abdominal incisional hernia is a weak area in the strong mucle layer that is supposed to contain the soft internal organs such as the intestine. Hernias are quite common in morbidly obese people, mostly arising from some prior surgical incision. The increased abdominal pressure associated with obesity interferes with the healing and "knitting" process that is needed for long term strength of the muscle layer after it has been cut for surgery. This gap in the muscle layer allows a bulge of the soft tissues, which shows up as pain and a focal swelling. If the hernia is not treated (surgical repair) then the soft internal tissues such as intestine can become trapped in the hernia.

general discription of protrusion of an organ through a weak spot in the surrounding tissue. In normal development, herniated midgut, describes the gastrointestinal tract growth outside the abdominal wall prior to body wall growth. In abnormal development, abnormal protrusion of organs in the diaphragm, abdominal or groin areas (hiatal hernias or inguinal hernias).

A hernia is a of a tissue, structure, or part of an organ through the muscular tissue or the membrane by which it is normally contained. The hernia has 3 parts: the orifice through which it herniates, the hernial sac, and its contents.
