Incisional hernia with gangrene - what does this mean
Incisional hernia with gangrene occurs when a weakened area of the abdominal wall, usually due to a surgical incision, is unable to contain the contents of the abdomen and allows them to protrude through the weakened area. if left untreated, the protruding tissue can become deprived of oxygen and nutrients, leading to the death of tissue, which is known as gangrene.
What happens during the disease - incisional hernia with gangrene
Incisional hernia with gangrene is a serious complication of surgical incisions, where the abdominal wall has weakened and allowed a portion of the intestine to protrude through it. this can cause a blockage in the intestine, leading to a decrease in blood supply to the area. this can cause tissue death, known as gangrene, which can spread and cause further complications.
