A hernia is the protrusion of an organ or piece of tissue from its normally contained space. In the abdomen, a hernia usually involves a piece of bowel, or omentum, which is a fatty apron that hangs down from the midportion of the colon (large intestine), protruding through a weak area in the abdominal wall. The abdominal wall is made up of layers of different muscles and tissues.
A hernia is a protrusion of tissue through a defect in its encapsulating walls. This defect occurs frequently; hernia repair is the most common operation in general surgery. Hernias may be broadly divided into two main groups, depending on whether they develop in the upper abdomen or in the groin (see the image below), and each group contains multiple types.
