What exactly is a ventral hernia?

Ventral hernia occurs when part of the contents of the abdominal cavity-; most often a piece of intestine that protrudes through the cavity and into the abdominal wall. Normally, the muscles and tissues that line the cavity keep the organs inside. Surgery is required and usually done with laparoscopic surgery, but, if there is a 'strangulation hernia' cutting off blood supply then a more extensive surgery will be done.
