Inguinal Hernias
-
Pathophysiology :
Direct hernia: less common. When the peritoneal sac enters from the posterior inguinal wall medial to the inferior epigastric vessels. This reduces easily and rarely strangulates
Indirect hernia: this is when the peritoneal sac enters the inguinal canal through the deep inguinal ring. This happens lateral to the inferior epigastric artery. It can easily strangulate
The inguinal canal provides a passageway in which structures can pass from the abdominal wall to the external genitalia. However, it is a potential point of weakness so is a common site of herniation.
The inguinal canal is a short passage that exends medially through the inferior aspect of the abdominal wall. It extends from the deep inguinal ring to the superfical ring
The inguinal canal has the passage of 12 componments through it. The inguinal hernia involves either an indirect or direct route
