Diaphragmatic hernia is a defect or hole in the diaphragm that allows the abdominal contents to move into the chest cavity. Treatment is usually surgical. The following types of diaphragmatic hernia exist: 1  Congenital diaphragmatic hernia. 2  Morgagni's hernia. 3  Bochdalek hernia. 4  Hiatal hernia.
There are many different types of hernias. The main types are inguinal hernia (groin), umbilical hernia (belly button hernia) and incisional hernias. A patient will first notice a bulge that can increase in size if it is left untreated. The hernia can sometimes cause pain and possibly involve intestines that can twist inside the hernia sac.
