Hernial Gate

A hernial orifice is a natural or pathological defect in the body that allows organs and tissues to grow outside of their normal location. Hernial orifices can occur in a variety of organs and tissues, including the abdomen, chest, and neck.

Natural hernial orifices are formed as a result of weakness of the muscles and ligaments that support organs and tissues within the body. For example, a hernial orifice in the abdominal cavity can occur due to weakness of the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall or insufficient fixation of the internal organs.

Pathological hernial orifices occur with various diseases and injuries that lead to weakening of muscles and ligaments. For example, with abdominal injuries, a hernia may occur, which is formed due to rupture of the muscles and ligaments of the abdominal wall.

Hernial orifices are a serious medical problem that can lead to various complications such as hernia strangulation, infection, and even death. Therefore, it is important to promptly diagnose and treat hernial orifices.

Hernial orifices are natural weak points in the abdominal wall through which internal hernias can occur. As a rule, the hernial cord is in one direction (see picture) or both. Most often, type I and II hernial orifices are formed. The formation of type III gates is possible, but they are rarer and have their own structural features. According to localization, these seams are located at the top, bottom and inside.
