[Other abdominal wall hernias].
This paper is compound of diverse hernias of the antero-lateral and pelvic abdominal walls. Their unequal frequency is reflected by the unequal length of the related paragraphs. Their diverse anatomical sites are unified by the presence of a weak area defined by the absence of voluntary striated muscular fibers (those which are able to resist the intra-abdominal pressure waves). Their diagnosis, often difficult, ought to be better known and done prior to often deadly strangulation. Their treatment, at times discussed, can benefit from some progresses, like the use of prosthetic materials and, perhaps, calioscopic procedures; only an operation in due time can avoid the threatening strangulation of bowel.
