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
