Abstract

Management of incarcerated hernias is a common issue facing general surgeons across the USA. When hernias are not able to be reduced, surgeons must make decisions in a short time frame with limited options for patient optimization. In this article, we review assessment and management options for incarcerated ventral and inguinal hernias.

Keywords: Emergency general surgery; Emergency hernia repair; Incarcerated hernia; Inguinal hernia; Ventral hernia.
