Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An inguinal hernia is a hernia in the groin area, specifically in the inguinal canal. Incarcerated hernias are hernias that cannot be reduced back into the abdominal cavity and are stuck in the hernia sac. Peritoneal hernias are also known as abdominal wall hernias and occur when the contents of the abdomen push through a weakened area of the abdominal wall. Hiatal hernias occur when part of the stomach protrudes upwards into the diaphragm.
