Strangulation9
- Strangulation can occur in all hernias, but is more common in femoral and inguinal hernias due to their narrow "weaknesses" in the abdominal wall. (wikipedia.org)
- The incidence of strangulation in femoral hernias is high. (wikipedia.org)
- While the majority of these hernias are symptomless, the possibility of strangulation - when the hernia blocks off the flow of blood - means that surgery may become necessary. (adventhealth.com)

Irreducible8
