hernia
Sign in to saveAlso known as 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.

Article · Nederlands
Een hernia of breuk is de uitstulping van een orgaan of weefsel uit de lichaamsholte waar het normaliter in ligt. Er bestaan verschillende hernia's. De meest voorkomende ontwikkelen zich in de onderbuik, als een zwakte van de buikwand evolueert tot een lokaal gat, of "defect" waar de uitstulping optreedt. Zie liesbreuk en navelbreuk. De bekendste is de hernia in de tussenwervelschijf, waarbij deze een uitstulping vertoont die de zenuwen afknelt, waarbij uitval in de benen of de armen optreedt. Een synoniem voor hernia is breuk, maar dat woord suggereert een scheur of beschadiging, die er (behalve bij de hernia nuclei pulposi) meestal niet echt is; het gaat dan vaak om het uitpuilen van buikinhoud door opgerekte structuren.
