- Gangrene
550.03 Inguinal hernia, with gangrene, bilateral, recurrent convert 550.03 to ICD-10-CM 550.1 Inguinal hernia with obstruction without mention of gangrene 550.10 Inguinal hernia, with obstruction, without mention of gangrene, unilateral or unspecified [icd9data.com]
In these cases, early surgery is important to prevent strangulation and gangrene of the bowel and to avoid dramatic events. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Falling
Some audience members had even suggested that her fall was part of the act, so well did she keep singing. [dailymail.co.uk]
About two-thirds of adult hernias fall into this category. These hernias occur when the bowel or abdominal tissues protrude into the inguinal canal in the groin. Most inguinal hernias occur in men because of a natural weakness in this area. [digestivediseasescenter.com]
After this, it is fine for them to have a shower, but long baths should be avoided if possible, as this may cause the scab to soften and fall off too early. [gosh.nhs.uk]

Once the pressure is relieved, the stomach falls back to its normal position. The fixed type, also known as a paraesophageal hernia This type occurs when a portion of the stomach remains stuck within the chest cavity—with no sliding up or down. [ucihealth.org]
- Malnutrition
It is also higher in patients with ongoing increased intra-abdominal pressure, growth failure and malnutrition, prematurity, seizure disorder, or chronic respiratory problems. [emedicine.com]
In 2015, iron-deficiency anaemia led to 54 200 deaths (35 100–72 900) and protein-energy malnutrition caused 323 200 deaths (264 900–400 800); in combination, nutritional deficiencies accounted for 3·6% (2·7–4·1) of lives lost to Group 1 disorders. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Trisomy 21
Approximately 20% of infants with omphaloceles have an associated chromosomal abnormality (eg, trisomy 13, trisomy 18, trisomy 21, or Klinefelter syndrome). Note translucent sac in baby with large omphalocele. Umbilical vessels attach to sac. [emedicine.com]
- Collapse
It is observed on CT as the dilatation of proximal bowel loops, together with a reduced or collapsed bowel caliber distal to the obstruction. [web.archive.org]
That extraction causes the hydrocarbon pockets in those gas fields to collapse and the seabed to sink. The seabed below the Tyra platforms has sunk nearly five meters since 1984. [ep.total.com]
This rapid rise in observed male mortality between the ages of 15 and 50 years, relative to SDI, occurred in tandem with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the widespread economic hardships that followed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric
- Respiratory Distress
Severe respiratory distress and dyspepsia may occur secondary to type IV paraesophageal hernia.[4] For more information about hiatal hernia click here Lumbar Hernia Lumbar triangles - Zyryab at English Wikipedia, via Wikimedia Commons[25] Petit's hernia [wikidoc.org]

- Acute Abdomen
KEYWORDS: Acute abdomen; Emergency hernia; Strangled hernia; Winslow hernia [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The second patient, 41-years old male, was admitted to hospital and urgently operated because of acute abdomen. Operation revealed incarceration of small bowell in SH. Hernia was clinically not evident prior to surgery. [dlib.si]

- Lower Abdominal Pain
We recently encountered a case of an 83-year-old woman who had lower abdominal pain in her right quadrant. Based on physical findings and CT findings she was diagnosed as having small bowel obstruction by internal hernia around the cecum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Musculoskeletal
- Muscle Weakness
A combination of muscle weakness and straining, such as with heavy lifting, might contribute. Some people are born with weak abdominal muscles and may be more likely to get a hernia. [nlm.nih.gov]
Like all hernias, inguinal hernias develop due to a combination of muscle weakness and pressure inside the abdomen. (2) There’s not a lot you can do to avoid the type of muscle weakness that lead to hernias, but there are steps you can take to reduce [everydayhealth.com]
All hernias are caused by pressure combined with an opening or weakness of muscle or tissue in your abdomen. You can be born with muscle weakness, but more commonly it happens later in life. [pennmedicine.org]
- Fracture
A chest radiograph showed fractures of the anterior portion of the eighth rib and widening of the eighth intercostal space. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The 30-year-old finished her performance and won a round of applause from spectators before hobbling off to hospital with a fractured foot. [dailymail.co.uk]
Times, Sunday Times (2007) Pennant has recovered from a fractured shin and double hernia. The Sun (2008)My father has a hiatus hernia with similar symptoms. Times, Sunday Times (2008)He was expected to miss out after surgery on a hernia problem. [collinsdictionary.com]
Neurologic
- Seizure
Rare (seen in 1 to 10 in every 10,000 patients) Fainting, seizures and passing memory loss, swelling of the eyelids, red eyes, sudden decrease or loss of hearing and hives (itchy red welts on the surface of the skin), penile bleeding, presence of blood [dadconsumer.com]
It is also higher in patients with ongoing increased intra-abdominal pressure, growth failure and malnutrition, prematurity, seizure disorder, or chronic respiratory problems. [emedicine.com]
- Agitation
Mechanical ventilation can cause agitation, which can be treated with a sedative. If pressure within the skull (intracranial pressure) is increased, the following measures may be taken to lower it: The head of the bed may be elevated. [msdmanuals.com]
Urogenital
- Swelling of the Scrotum
[…] in the scrotum around the testicles when the protruding intestine descends into the scrotum Signs and symptoms in children About five in every 100 children have inguinal hernias. [web.archive.org]
Normal findings after surgery include pain, swelling of the scrotum, bruising, difficulty urinating. It is advisable to place ice packs to the surgical sight for 24-48 hours after surgery. [lvsurgical.com]
Signs that you or a loved one might have a hernia include: A bulge in the groin or scrotum, or swelling in the scrotum. Discomfort in the groin area that gets worse when you bend or lift something. Heaviness in the groin or abdomen. [geisinger.org]
Inguinal Hernia Hydroceles occur when fluid fills a sac in the scrotum of the penis (in the "inguinal canal"). About 10 in 100 male infants have a hydrocele at birth. Hydroceles can also develop with swelling or injury of the scrotum. [urologyhealth.org]
Symptoms Of Inguinal Hernias Burning, aching or a sensation of heaviness or weakness in the groin Pain when coughing or during physical exertion Swelling of the scrotum in men or boys Types of Inguinal Hernias There are two types of inguinal hernias: [drugwatch.com]
- Cryptorchidism
Raveenthiran of SRM Hospital, Kattankulathur described a new syndrome in which Spigelian hernia and cryptorchidism (undescended testis) occur together.[14] Some common complications of this distinct syndrome cryptorchidism are testicular torsion, and [en.wikipedia.org]

Iatrogenic cryptorchidism can occur in children (1.3%) if the testicle is not placed in the scrotum at the end of the operation; orchiopexy is required for correction. [emedicine.com]
Workup
Diagnosis Laboratory studies include the following: Stain or culture of nodal tissue Complete blood count (CBC) Electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine Urinalysis Lactate Imaging studies are not required in the normal workup of a hernia [emedicine.com]
Treatment
The only effective treatment is surgical repair. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
What Is the Medical Treatment for a Hernia? Surgical hernia repair is the ultimate treatment. The timing of treatment of a hernia and technique for treatment depends on whether it is reducible or irreducible and possibly strangulated. [emedicinehealth.com]
In the literature different surgical techniques have been reported so far to achieve a successful treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
Each type of hernia has different causes, which means that the steps you can take to prevent them will also be somewhat different. Not all hernias, though, are preventable. [everydayhealth.com]
Preventive Measures of Hernia You can not prevent an inherent defect that makes you prone to an inguinal hernia. However, you can reduce the pressure on the muscles and the abdominal tissue. [marham.pk]
This squeezing action prevents entry of any organ into the internal ring and the cord, thereby preventing hernia formation. [doi.org]
In such cases, emergency surgery (within hours of occurring) is necessary to prevent tissue death. Prevention How can a hernia be prevented? Maintain ideal body weight by eating a healthy diet and exercising. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
