Oblique hernia

An oblique hernia is an inguinal hernia that protrudes through the inguinal canal, which accounts for about 90% of the inguinal hernia. It is the most common extra-abdominal hernia. Oblique hernias cannot heal spontaneously, and incarcerations or strangulation may occur, so surgery should be performed. From the perspective of the mechanism and time of occurrence, inguinal hernias are classified as congenital and acquired, and from the perspective of the development process and degree of the disease, they are divided into tractable hernia, refractory hernia, incarcerated hernia, and strangulated hernia. Inguinal hernia is prone to incarceration, and if not treated in time, it may cause serious complications.
