Hernia is abnormal protrusion of an organ through another one. Hernias may be congenital or acquired. Based on the protruded organ and the location of the protrusion, the hernia would be classified into inguinal, femoral, umbilical, diaphragmatic, incisional, and other hernias. Different kinds of hernias, such as central nervous system (CNS), diaphragmatic, lumbar, abdominal, and pelvic hernias have to be differentiated upon various history, symptoms, and physical examination findings.
