Also known as Hernia, hernias, herniae
A hernia (: hernias or herniae, from Latin, meaning 'rupture') is the abnormal exit of tissue or an organ, such as the bowel, through the wall of the cavity in which it normally resides. The term is also used for the normal development of the intestinal tract, referring to the retraction of the intestine from the extra-embryonal navel coelom into the abdomen in the healthy embryo at about 7 weeks.
A hernia is when tissue or an organ, like the bowel, abnormally pushes through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it. It matters because this abnormal protrusion can cause physical problems and may require medical attention.
