- Malnutrition
This discrepancy could be explained on one hand by anatomical particularities, namely the small hernia rings with firm margins and on the other hand the malnutrition responsible for the increased elasticity of the intestinal wall. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]
Patients with certain risk factors, such as smoking, obesity, poor glycemic control, malnutrition, surgical site contamination, and others, are at increased risk for these complications, and are often first seen in the ED. [ahcmedia.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.medscape.com]
- Falling
Zimbabwe : Bulawayo, Harare, Mutare, Victoria Falls, etc. [maria-online.com]
Few patients fall into this category. Most external hernias can be successfully repaired surgically under regional or local infiltration anaesthesia with minimal morbidity. [surgwiki.com]

- Abdominal Distension
Physical examination was significant for abdominal distension, abdominal tenderness, guarding over the right lower quadrant and inguinal region, and hyperactive bowel sounds. [journals.lww.com]
During his evaluation at the hospital, he had a colicky abdominal pain, nausea and two episodes of vomiting. He had no fever, groin swelling, abdominal distension or trauma, or known chronic illnesses like diabetes mellitus and hypertension. [dovepress.com]

Musculoskeletal
- Fracture
When a bone fractures, the fragments lose their alignment in the form of displacement or angulation, for the fractured bone to heal without any deformity the bony fragments must be re-aligned to their normal anatomical position. [wikivisually.com]
Other relevant past medical history includes a right total hip replacement for pathological fracture of the right femoral head due to the bony metastases one year previously. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Posterior hernias Posterior hernias include the lumbar hernias that occur spontaneously, postsurgically or secondary to trauma, especially after pelvic fracture[ 3 ]. [wjgnet.com]
Psychiatrical
- Fear
Basrur et al. suggested modified Bassini repair as the method of treatment fearing mesh infection and recurrence risk in future 5. In our case no adverse outcome was seen even with meshplasty. There was no wound infection. [ispub.com]
Workup
[…] studies are not required in the normal workup of a hernia. [bodybuilding.com]
At this time, he was referred for a better workup. During his evaluation at the hospital, he had a colicky abdominal pain, nausea and two episodes of vomiting. [dovepress.com]
Review the workup of a patient with a Richter hernia. Summarize the treatment options for a Richter hernia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Take the time to learn the diagnostic workup so that your therapeutic recommendations have more value. [moffitt.org]
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.medscape.com]
Treatment
Significant updates on bariatric surgery, Barrett's esophagus, endoscopic ultrasound, endosonography, treatment of liver disease, and much more keep you current on the latest advances. [books.google.de]
This requires high index of suspicion so that timely treatment can be started and complications can be minimized. [ispub.com]
Treatment for hernias can be no treatment, to medicines to surgery. Many hernias are not serious, although larger ones certainly can be, and complications can include an obstruction of the digestive tract. [sharecare.com]
Prognosis
Pathophysiology is emphasized throughout, providing a sound basis for discussions of the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis that follow. [books.google.de]
Prognosis: Prognosis depends on the type and size of hernia as well as on the ability to reduce risk factors associated with the development of hernias. Prognosis is good with timely diagnosis and repair. [bodybuilding.com]
Treatment and prognosis Surgical management is often necessary 2. Complications Venous circulation of the incarcerated hernia is impaired, which can result in bowel infarction and gangrene. [radiopaedia.org]
Note that Richter's hernia is associated with a significantly high mortality rate of 17% to 21%; the prognosis is particularly unfavorable if peritonitis develops. Take home messages 1. [prognosisapp.com]
Prognosis After successful hernia repair, there is always the potential for recurrence. Modifiable patient risk factors for recurrence include elevated BMI, smoking, diabetes and steroid use. [statpearls.com]

The lumen of the hernia remains free of preventing obstruction. With no intestinal obstruction between onset, symptoms, and identification, there is more time for bowel necrosis to set in and progress. [journals.lww.com]
Place 2 fingers over the hernial ring to prevent the hernial sac from riding over the ring during reduction attempts. Firm steady pressure should be applied to the apex of the hernia, guiding it back through the defect. [bodybuilding.com]
