A hypocele is a medical term referring to a hernia that occurs when a portion of the intestine protrudes through a defect in the abdominal wall and is covered by peritoneum, forming a sac. This condition is typically associated with congenital defects or can occur as a result of trauma or surgical complications. Hypoceles can lead to complications such as incarceration or strangulation of the herniated tissue, necessitating surgical intervention.
