Q

What are the two layers of superficial fascia?

A

Superficial fatty = fascia of campers
- continues into scrotum where if forms dartos fascia

dee membranous = fascia of scarpas

  • continues into srotum where it helps to form dartos muscle by tracing it backwords
  • continuous with fascia of perineum (colles fascia)

67
Q

What is an inguinal hernia?

A

protrusion of abdominal contents (usually intestine) within a sac of peritoneum into the inguinal region (canal)

A

passes through deep ring, inguinal canal, and superficial ring (transverses canal)

lies lateral to the inferior epigastric artery

more common (2/3 hernias// 20 x more common in males)

congenital- associated with persistence of processus vaginalis

sac = within spermatic cord so commonly passing into the scrotum

69
Q

What is a direct hernia?

A

acquired

MEDIAL to inferior epigastric artery

occurs through weakened area of abdominal wall muscles as the hernia pushes its way directly through the posterior wall of the inguinal canal

Through inguinal triangle

hernial sac = external and parallel to spermatic cord.

unusual to reach scrotum

70
Q

Why do surgeons use the inferior epigastric artery?

A

landmark for hernias

lateral = indirect
medial = direct
71

A

median umbilical fold
2 medial umbilical folds
2 lateral umbilical ligaments

73
Q

What is the median umbilical fold?

A

raised by median umbilical ligament

74
Q

What is the medial umblical fold?

A

raised by medial umbilical ligaments

obliterated umbilical artery

75
Q

what is the lateral umbilical ligament?

A

raised by inferior epigastric arteries on their way to rectus sheath

epigastric artery = landmark

76
Q

What goes through the deep ring during testical descent?

A

perineu,m and transversalis fascia

77
Q

What does perineum become?

A

tunica vaginalis parietal and visceral
