Incisional hernia with obstruction, without gangrene - what does this mean

Incisional hernia with obstruction without gangrene is a condition that occurs when the abdominal wall is weakened due to a prior surgical incision, and the contents of the abdomen protrude through the weakened area. this can lead to an obstruction of the intestines, causing pain, nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms. if left untreated, the obstruction can cause a blockage of the intestine and lead to a life-threatening condition called gangrene.

What happens during the disease - incisional hernia with obstruction, without gangrene

Incisional hernia with obstruction, without gangrene, is caused by a weakened abdominal wall due to a previous surgical incision. this weakened abdominal wall can allow a loop of intestine to protrude through the incision, resulting in a hernia. if the hernia becomes obstructed due to the hernial contents, it can lead to an inability to pass stool or gas, causing pain and distention. if not treated, the obstruction can cause further complications such as gangrene.
