False strangulation of a hernia. At acute diseases of organs of an abdominal cavity the exsudate, getting in a hernial bag, can cause in itself development of inflammatory changes. Usually in 5-7 days after operation in occasion of the diffuse peritonitis caused by acute inflammatory diseases of a process, a cholic bubble, a perforated stomach ulcer or a duodenum when the condition of the patient improves, it starts to complain of a morbid diverticulum in the field of hernial hiluses.
