Tag: Rare hernia

Sciatic hernias are one of the rarest forms of pelvic hernias, with only around 100 cases reported in the literature as of a 2022 review. A **sciatic hernia** is the protrusion of abdominal or pelvic contents through the greater or lesser sciatic foramen.

Though hernias are common, affecting up to 10% of the population, flank hernias are a considerably rarer and more complex type. Unlike the more familiar groin or abdominal hernias, understanding the nature, causes, and treatment of flank hernias is crucial for proper diagnosis and care.
