Inguinal hernia. Artwork of a female pelvis showing an inguinal hernia (labelled as hernial sac). A hernia is the protrusion of an organ through a structure or muscle that usually contains it. Here part of the small intestine is protruding through the abdominal wall. Inguinal hernias are the most common type of hernia. They can result from straining, including coughing and vomiting.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the intricate details of an inguinal hernia, showcasing a female pelvis with precision and artistry. The image highlights the protrusion of a hernial sac, where part of the small intestine is seen pushing through the abdominal wall. Inguinal hernias are one of the most common types and can occur due to various factors such as straining, coughing, or vomiting. The illustration serves as a valuable educational tool in understanding this medical condition. It emphasizes the importance of surgery to reposition the intestine and strengthen the weakened abdominal wall for effective treatment. However, it also sheds light on how inguinal hernias frequently recur despite initial intervention. With its labeled organs and detailed diagram, this artwork provides invaluable insights into human anatomy and disorders related to it. By visually representing this injury, viewers gain a deeper understanding of how our bodies function and what can go wrong when certain structures fail to contain organs properly. Science Photo Library's expertise in capturing scientific images shines through once again with this remarkable print that seamlessly blends science with artistic expression. This piece not only appeals to medical professionals but also sparks curiosity among individuals interested in exploring different aspects of health care and biology.
