Intestines bulging through hernia

In some cases, a loop of intestine can poke through a hernia. Often surgeons can push the loop of intestine back in. But if the loop gets trapped or does not get enough blood, surgeons sometimes have to remove it and reconnect the two ends of intestine that are left.
