What is the name of hernia on testicles?
Inguinal hernia. The previous poster to this answer was incorrect. A hernia that extends from the abdomen into the scrotum is called an inguinal hernia, while a hiatal hernia is one where the top part of the stomach pokes through the hole in the diaphragm where the esophagus goes.
Which condition is a protrusion of part of the stomach through the esophageal opening in the diaphram?
its called hiatal hernia or hiatus hernia.
What is another name for a hiatal hernia?
A hiatal hernia can also be called a diaphragmatic hernia.
What is the difference between a hiatal hernia and an inguinal hernia?
None. But there are two types of inguinal herniae (or hernias): direct and indirect. Direct inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents herniate through a weak point in the fascia of the abdominal wall and into the inguinal canal. Indirect inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents protrude through the deep inguinal ring; this is ultimately caused by failure of embryonic closure of the processus vaginalis.
When a hernia occurs in the hesselbach's triangle is it direct?
Yes, an inguinal hernia through Hesselach's triangle (or the inguinal triangle) is a direct inguinal hernia. An indirect inguinal hernia goes through the deep inguinal ring and continues through the inguinal canal.
Is Pariet used to treat hiatal hernia?
Yes, Pariet is an option to treat a hiatal hernia.
which hiatal hernia is typically associated with short esophagus a- sliding hiatal hernia b- rolling/paraesophageal?
A short esophagus is typically associated with a sliding hiatal hernia (a-sliding hiatal hernia), rather than a rolling or paraesophageal hiatal hernia. In a sliding hiatal hernia, the gastroesophageal junction and a portion of the stomach slide up into the chest through the hiatus (an opening in the diaphragm). This type of hiatal hernia is more common and usually does not cause significant symptoms or complications. On the other hand, a rolling or paraesophageal hiatal hernia occurs when a portion of the stomach herniates through the hiatus and into the chest beside the esophagus, but the gastroesophageal junction remains in its normal position. This type of hiatal hernia is less common but may be associated with more significant symptoms and complications, such as gastric volvulus (twisting of the stomach) or strangulation of the herniated portion. In summary, a sliding hiatal hernia is typically associated with a short esophagus, while a rolling or paraesophageal hiatal hernia involves a different herniation pattern
What is another term meaning diaphragmatic hernia?
