Pelvis
The groin area can have 4 types of hernias
Inguinal: Indirect, Direct, Combined
Femoral
The Anterior Ab has 3 types of Hernias
Umbilical
Epigastric
Spigelian
The Pelvic has 3 types of hernias
Obturator
Sciatic
Perineal
The Posterior Ab has 2 types of hernias
Lumbar:Posterior and Superior Triangles
Is there a relationship between the area of the hernia and the size of the sac
no
What makes the sac of the hernia
Peritoneum
Richter's hernia is
When you have antimesenteric trapped inside the hernia
Internal hernia protrudes through
peritoneal cavity
An external hernia protrudes
through all muscular layers of the ab
The sac of an indirect inguinal hernia passes from the
internal inguinal ring obliquely toward the external inguinal ring and ultimately into the scrotum
a direct inguinal hernia protrudes
outward and forward and is medial to the internal inguinal ring and inferior epigastric vessels.
About 75% of all hernias occur in
the inguinal region. Two thirds of these are indirect, and the remainder are direct inguinal hernias.
Although femoral hernias occur more frequently in women than in men
inguinal hernias remain the most common hernia in women.
From anterior to posterior, the groin anatomy includes:
Skin, ubcutaneous tissues,
Suerficial circumflex iliac, Suerficial epigastric, and external pudendal arteries and accompanying veins
This aponeurosis, along with the bilaminar aponeuroses of the internal oblique and transversus abdominis, forms the
anterior rectus sheath and, finally, the linea alba by linear decussation
The lacunar ligament is formed by the insertion
inguinal ligament to the pubis
The internal oblique muscle serves as the cephalad (or superior) border of the
inguinal canal.
the internal oblique aponeurosis fuses with fibers from the transversus abdominis aponeurosis to form a
conjoined tendon
The component of the inguinal floor
Transversalis fascia
Why do you not place tacks below the iliopubic tract
femoral, lateral femoral cutaneous, and genitofemoral nerves are contained
Cooper's ligament is formed by the
periosteum and fascia along the superior ramus of the pubis.
a vessel that crosses the lateral border of Cooper's ligament and is a direct communication from the obturator and iliac vessels.
corona mortis
the inguinal canal is bounded superficially by
external oblique aponeurosis
What forms the cephalad wall of the inguinal canal
internal oblique and transversus abdominis musculoaponeurosis
The inferior wall of the inguinal canal is formed by the
inguinal ligament and lacunar ligament.
The posterior wall or floor of the inguinal canal is formed by the
transversalis fascia and the aponeurosis of the transversus abdominis muscle.
What forms the margins of the Hesselbach's triangle
inferior epigastric vessels serve as its superolateral border, the rectus sheath as medial border, and the inguinal ligament as the inferior border
