- It’s the most serious complication of Hernia
The most common hernia liable to strangulate in INCIDENCE of Strangulation in Common Complications of Hernia
femoral hernia then paraumbilical hernia
The most common hernia seen strangulated in INCIDENCE of Strangulation in Common Complications of Hernia
oblique inguinal hernia as it is the commonest form
of hernia.
The most common cause of Intestinal Obstruction in developing countries
Strangulation of Hernia
CAUSES of Strangulation in Common Complications of Hernia
- Presence of a constricting agent
- Narrowing of the neck of the sac by adhesions.
- It may follow other complications as irreducibility or obstruction.
Presence of a constricting agent in CAUSES of Strangulation in Common Complications of Hernia
- Examples
* Pathogenesis
Examples in Presence of a constricting agent in CAUSES of Strangulation in Common Complications of Hernia
- Deep or superficial inguinal ring in Oblique Inguinal Hernia
- Sharp edge of lacunar ligament in femoral hernia.
Pathogenesis of Presence of a constricting agent in CAUSES of Strangulation in Common Complications of Hernia
- Constriction of the contents leading to interruption of their blood supply.
- If the Constriction is not relieved, gangrene occurs in few hours.
Pathology of Strangulation in Common Complications of Hernia
Very important
- The sequelae that The strangulated loop will suffer
* Note
The sequelae that The strangulated loop will suffer in Pathology of Strangulation in Common Complications of Hernia
1- Pressure on the veins & impeded venous congestion
2- Pressure on the arteries & impeded arterial supply
- Gangrene occurs at the site of constriction
4- Perforation and peritonitis are the terminal events
Pathogenesis of Pressure on the veins & impeded venous congestion in The sequelae that The strangulated loop will suffer in Pathology of Strangulation in Common Complications of Hernia
- The strangulated loop becomes congested and distended with gas & fluid.
- increased congestion causes haemorrhage in the wall & lumen of the affected loop
Pathogenesis of Pressure on the arteries & impeded arterial supply in The sequelae that The strangulated loop will suffer in Pathology of Strangulation in Common Complications of Hernia
- Ischemia & infarctions of the mucosa )> Ulceration
- Mucosal barrier failure
- Bacterial translocation occurs & predisposes to septic shock.
Mucosal barrier failure in Pathogenesis of Pressure on the arteries & impeded arterial supply in The sequelae that The strangulated loop will suffer in Pathology of Strangulation in Common Complications of Hernia
- The devitalized loop exudates its contents (fluid, blood & bacteria) into the hernial sac which now contains Sero sanguinous highly toxic fluid.
- At this point the strangulated loop is still viable
Note on Pathology of Strangulation in Common Complications of Hernia
Strangulated hernia is categorized as Mixed strangulation ( obstruction of both blood supply and intestinal lumen)
