High-Yield Explanation
"Of all the hernias, a femoral hernia is the most liable to become strangulated, mainly because of the narrowness of the neck of the sac and the rigidity of the femoral ring." - Bailey & Love An epigastric hernia (or fatty hernia of the linea alba) an epigastric hernia occurs through the linea alba anywhere between the xiphoid process and the umbilicus. the mouth of a hernia is too small to permit entry of any hollow viscus into the sac; consequently, either the sac is empty (contain only extraperitoneal fat) or it contains only a small portion of the greater omentum.
