Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Abdominal Hernia: Its Diagnosis and Treatment
The sac consists of its body, or the expanded portion, which contains the bulk of the protrusion; the neck, which is the constricted part running through the muscular wall; and its mouth, the aperture of communication with the peritoneal cavity.
The acquired sac on first protruding, may be free from adhesions, and reducible, but readily becomes attached to sur rounding tissues and from that time is irreducible. It then fur nishes a permanent, moist, serous lining to the canal through which it protrudes.
