Diaphragmatic hernia with obstruction, without gangrene - what does this mean
Diaphragmatic hernia with obstruction without gangrene is caused when a hole in the diaphragm allows abdominal organs to protrude into the chest cavity, causing a blockage of the intestines. this can lead to a decrease in blood flow to the affected area, resulting in abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and difficulty breathing. surgery is usually needed to repair the hernia and remove the obstruction.
What happens during the disease - diaphragmatic hernia with obstruction, without gangrene
Diaphragmatic hernia with obstruction is a condition in which a part of the intestine protrudes through a weak or absent area in the diaphragm and becomes trapped, leading to partial or complete obstruction of the intestines. this obstruction can cause abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. in some cases, the hernia can cause a decrease in the amount of oxygen that reaches the intestines, leading to tissue damage and impaired blood flow to the affected area, which may lead to gangrene.
