I believe the answer is:

hernia

(Other definitions for hernia that I've seen before include "Rupture, organ penetrating the abdomen" , "Rupture, protrusion of organ through abdominal wall" , "Breaking of an organ through its lining" , "Protruding rupture" , "Protrusion of organ through wall of abdomen, a rupture" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
