What happens during the disease - other specified abdominal hernia with gangrene
Other specified abdominal hernia with gangrene is a condition that occurs when a hernia develops in the abdominal wall and the hernia sac becomes infected, leading to necrosis of the surrounding tissue. this can occur when the hernia is large or when there is a lack of adequate blood supply to the hernia, leading to a decrease in oxygen levels in the affected area. the infection can further lead to gangrene, which is the death of body tissue due to a lack of blood supply.
