What happens when a ventral hernia ruptures?
Hernias do not rupture. They’re actually your organs pushing out in different areas of your body. A ventral hernia usually caused from any post-operative surgical site on the ventral side of the body. They are one of the most difficult hernias to repair and usually require surgical repair with mesh. Without treatment and repair a ventral hernia can incarcerate or strangulate your organs causing infection, gangrene, and organ dysfunction. If you have one and haven’t seen a physician I would definitely recommend going to see one immediately.
