Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Clinical study | | Hebrew term or phrase: שבר בטני | | Iemand suggereerde mij : "abdominal fracture". Ik dacht zelf aan "hernia" |
| | | ventral or abdominal hernia | Explanation:
ventral hernia is a variant of an abdominal hernia.
the correct term is really: abdominal wall hernia. it can occur at any site
in the abdominal wall.
however, a ventral hernia is an abdominal wall hernia specifically in the midline.
the midline of the abdominal wall is a particularly prone to develop hernias because of the anatomy of that area.
for instance, a hernia at the site of a colostomy, in the right lower quadrant, should not be called a ventral hernia. or - a hernia at the site of an old appendectomy incision, should not be called a ventral hernia. if it is - it is an error.

Example sentence(s):- I would prefer the Hebrew term - בקע - to - שבר - but that is a different issue.
