4 Major Groups of Hernias
|
Groin
Anterior Ab Posterior Ab 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
