Upon protrusion through the hernial orifice, blood vessels of a hernia may become constricted. This condition is referred to as strangulated hernia; it may be associated with gangrenous necrosis of affected tissues and life-threatening complications.
Presentation
Strangulation may occur within distinct periods of time after the initial protrusion of viscera [8]. It should be noted that a considerable subset of individuals suffering from hernia remains asymptomatic until strangulation occurs. Rarely, SH is observed in patients previously diagnosed with hernia, who have been recommended watchful waiting or opted against elective surgery.
Most commonly, the hernial sac corresponds to a visible and palpable bulge, but this may not be the case in obese SH patients. The hernial sac and surrounding tissues are often erythematous and extremely tender, and patients claim intensifying discomfort when adopting a determined posture or coughing. In SH patients, intense pain usually leads to the diagnosis of acute abdomen. As per definition, SH is not manually reducible [7]. With regards to hernia contents, functional impairment of protruded viscera usually manifest as the inability to pass stools or gasses. Bowel sounds may be decreased or absent [9]. Compromise of the urogenital tract may cause micturition problems. Diaphragmatic SH may also be associated with respiratory symptoms. Any strangulated tissue may undergo gangrenous necrosis and serve as a source of toxins released upon cell death. If portions of the intestines are affected, microorganisms may pass the mucosal barrier and cause sepsis. Patients may thus present with systemic symptoms such as general malaise, fever, tachycardia, nausea, and vomiting.

Comparator: mesh repair without intestinal resection mesh repair of strangulated hernia without resection Other: mesh repair mesh repair of strangulated hernia without resection Other Name: mesh hernioplasty without resection Primary Outcome Measures : wound [clinicaltrials.gov]
Wound infection. Bladder injury. Intestinal injury. A hydrocele from fluid accumulation in the distal sac usually resolves spontaneously but sometimes requires aspiration. Prognosis This is generally very good, depending on comorbidity. [patient.info]
It is well-known that contamination and subsequent infection are an important cause of wound dehiscence and reherniation which impair wound healing dynamics. A recurrent hernia is considered a risk factor for a new recurrence. [websurg.com]
- Sepsis
Walls of the hernial sac may eventually become gangrenous and necrotic, thus rendering SH a surgical emergency that may be associated with life-threatening sepsis. [symptoma.com]
There were numerous complications, notably: wound sepsis (16 cases), post-operative peritonitis (3 cases) and multiple system failure (12 cases). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This strangulated tissue can release toxins and infection into the bloodstream, which could lead to sepsis or death. Strangulated hernias are medical emergencies. Any hernia can become strangulated. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Untreated, a strangulated hernia could result in gangrene, excessive bleeding and sepsis and can lead to perforation of the bowel and consequently peritonitis. Septicemia and toxemia can lead to multi organ failure. [simple-remedies.com]
Along with the catastrophic effects of a groin sepsis, removal of mesh would potentially result in a weakness of the repair and as a result, a recurrent hernia. [intechopen.com]
- Inguinal Mass
Differential Diagnosis: Not all inguinal masses are hernias. [fastbleep.com]
Inguinal masses that resemble hernias may be the result of adenopathy (infectious or malignant), an ectopic testis, or lipoma. These masses are solid and are not reducible. A scrotal mass may be a varicocele, hydrocele, or testicular tumor. [msdmanuals.com]
Cysts located in the inguinal canal are present as inguinal mass, while those occurring below in the outer ring are usually pubic masses. Cysts of the round ligament are round, solid masses with clear boundaries, with a cystic feeling. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup
Hernias are usually diagnosed clinically. Additional measures are rarely necessary, but sonography as well as plain radiography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging may be employed in selected cases [10] [11]. An appropriate technique should be chosen to allow the identification of the hernial orifice and hernial contents as well as the assessment of the protruded tissues condition.
Treatment
Awareness of SAM is important because, unlike vasculitides, immunosuppressive treatment may worsen the disease process. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment is possible, however it is not only very different from treatment for a conventional hiatal hernia, when the treatment occurs is just as important as how it is handled. [hiatalherniacondition.com]
Depending on your treatment plan, you’ll need either local or general anesthesia during surgery. Open surgery is the preferred treatment for strangulated hernias. Laparoscopic surgical procedures have been tested as well. [healthline.com]

Etiology The etiology of indirect hernias is largely explainable in terms of the embryology of the groin and of testicular descent. An indirect inguinal hernia is a congenital hernia, regardless of the patient’s age. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Summary
In general, the medical term hernia refers to the protrusion of viscera through an orifice into the so-called hernial sac. A specific case of hernia is defined by hernial location and its content.
- The most common form of the disease is inguinal hernia, i.e., the protrusion of abdominal viscera through the internal inguinal ring or the Hesselbach's triangle into the inguinal canal. Affected individuals are diagnosed with indirect inguinal hernia or direct inguinal hernia, respectively. Inguinal hernia accounts for up to 75% of all hernias and usually comprises the intestines [1]. A considerable share of inguinal hernias is congenital [2].
- Femoral hernia accounts for up to 17% of all cases [1] and is defined as the protrusion of abdominal contents through the femoral ring into the femoral canal [3].
- Less than 10% of hernias are umbilical hernias, and affected individuals suffer from the protrusion of abdominal viscera through the umbilical ring, the prior site of insertion of the umbilical cord [4].
- Rare types of hernia include obturator hernia, epigastric hernia, hiatus hernia and other forms of diaphragmatic hernia [5], protrusion of tissues through artificial orifices [6], and traumatic hernia [5]. With regards to the contents of the hernial sac, patients may be diagnosed with Richter's hernia, Littre hernia, or cystocele, among others.
In any case, the more or less rigid boundaries of an hernial orifice may interfere with arterial blood supply and venous return from tissues contained in the hernial sac. This condition is known as strangulated hernia (SH) and may lead to blood stasis, functional impairment of affected organs and acute inflammation [7]. In the case of protruded intestines, for instance, strangulation is associated with an increased permeability of the intestinal wall and a possible breach of microorganisms. Walls of the hernial sac may eventually become gangrenous and necrotic, thus rendering SH a surgical emergency that may be associated with life-threatening sepsis.
