Information
has glosseng: Internal hernias occur when there is an opening in the bowel mesentery. If a loop of bowel passes through the mesenteric defect, that loop is at risk for becoming the lead point of a small bowel obstruction. Mesenteric defects commonly occur in trauma, such as gunshot wounds to the abdomen, and mesenteric defects are intentionally created in the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure. In trauma victims, the defect is usually closed, sometimes with resection of the associated bowel, which may have lost its blood supply.
