Hernias are classified by anatomic location, hernia contents, and the status of those contents (eg, reducible, incarcerated, or strangulated). Hernia is typically used to describe a protrusion of bowel through the abdominal wall. The most common abdominal hernias are inguinal, ventral, and femoral hernias (Fig. 46-1).
