Answer to Question 1

A
The incarcerated hernia may become strangulated, which cuts off the blood supply and can lead to necrosis of the trapped bowel loop. Hernias are classified as reducible, which means the pro-truding organ can be returned to its proper place by pressing on the organ, and irreducible, which means that the protruding part of the organ is tightly wedged outside the cavity and cannot be pushed back through the opening. Another name for an irreducible hernia is incarcerated hernia. An indirect hernia protrudes through the inguinal ring. A direct hernia protrudes through the posterior inguinal wall.

Answer to Question 2
