An unspecified abdominal hernia with gangrene is a condition in which a hernia (the protrusion of an organ or tissue through an opening in the abdominal wall) becomes infected and the tissue around it begins to die due to lack of blood supply. this can occur due to a weakened abdominal wall, increased pressure in the abdomen, or a foreign object pushing against the abdominal wall. in some cases, the hernia can be repaired surgically, but in other cases, the gangrene can spread quickly, leading to serious complications.
