Hernia Types Review Flashcards
MIDLINE HERNIAS ABOVE THE UNBILICUS.
EPIDASTRIC
THE HERNIA PROTRUDES THROUGH THE ABDOMINAL WALL.
EXTERNAL
MIDLINE HERNIAS BELOW THE UMBILICUS.
HYPOGASTRIC
HERNIATED TISSUE CANNOT BE RETURNED TO THE SITE OF ORIGIN.
INCARCERATED
A HERNIA THAT OCCURS WITHIN THE VISCERAL CAVITY (INTRAPERITONEAL OR RETROPERITONEAL)
INTERNAL
THE HERNIA IS CONTAINED WIHTIN THE ABDOMINAL WALL.
INTERPARIETAL
PRESENTATION OF BOTH DIRECT AND INDIRECT HERNIAS.
PANTALOON
A HERNIA PROJECTING THROUGH THE DIAPHRAGM INTO THE PLEURAL SPACE.
PHRENIC
HERNIA CONTENTS CAN BE RETURNED TO THE ORIGINAL CAVITY VIA MANUAL MANIPULATION.
REDUCIBLE
A HERNIATION OF A PORTION OF THE BOWEL THROUGH TEH FASCIAL DEFECT, RATHER THAN THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE BOWEL.
RICHTER’S HERNIA
THE ABDOMINAL VISCERA FORMS PART OF THE HERNIA SAC.
SLIDING
WHEN TISSUE IN THE HERNIATED SAC BECOMNES TRAPPED AND BLOOD SUPPLY IS CUT OFF, CAUSING TISSUE NECROSIS.
STRANGULATION
HOW COMMON ARE HERNIAS OF THE GROIN?
APPROX 75%
WHAT 3 STRUCTURES FOR HESSELBACH’S TRIANGLE?
THE RECTUS ABDOMINUS MUSCLE, INGUINAL LIGAMENT, AND INFERIOR EPIGASTRIC VESSELS
NAME THE 2 TYPES OF HERNIAS THAT OCCUR IN THE GROIN.
INGUINAL AND FEMORAL
DESCRIBE THE BASIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DIRECT AND AN INDIRECT INGUINAL HERNIA.
MORE COMMON, INDIRECT INGUINAL HERNIAS ARISE FROM AND PASS THE DEEP INGUINAL RING INTO THE INGUINAL CANAL. THE HERNIA SAC MAY EXTEND INTO THE SCROTUM. THE NECK OF THE HERNIA IS NARROW AND LIES LATERAL TO THE INFERIOR EPIGASTRIC ARTERY. DIRECT INGUINAL HERNIA ARISE THROUGH HESSELBACH’S TRIANGLE, ENTERING THE INGUINAL CANAL THROUGH THE POSTERIOR WALL AND RARELY REACHING THE SCROTUM. THE NECK OF THE SAC IS WIDE AND LIES MEDIAL TO THE INFERIOR EPIGASTRIC ARTERY
WHAT HERNIA IS MOST COMMON IN NEWBORNS AND IN ADULTS, HAS A HIGHER INCIDENCE RATES IN WOMEN THAN MEN?
UMBILICAL
WHAT HERNIAS ARE COMMON IN CHILDREN AND TEENS?
INGUINAL
WHICH IS THE MOST COMMON HERNIA FOR PREGNANT WOMEN AND PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 50?
HIATAL HERNIA
WHICH HERNIA:
3:1 RATION OF OCCURRENCE IN WOEMN TO MEN
HIGH RATE OF STRANGULATION
VERY RARE IN CHILDREN
FOUND INFERO-LATERAL TO THE PUBIC TUBERCLE
FEMORAL HERNIA
DESCRIBE THE ANATOMY INVOLVED IN A HIATAL HERNIA.
THE PROXIMAL STOMACH PROTRUDES THROUGH THE ESOPHAGEAL HIATUS OF THE DIAPHGRAM
A VENTRAL HERNIA INVOLVES PROTRUSION THROUGH THE:
ABDOMINAL
A SPIGELIAN HERNIA OCCURS ALONG THE LINEA SEMILUNARIS THROUGH THE SPIGELIAN FASCIA WHICH IS LATERAL TO WHICH MIUSCLE?
THE RECTUS ABDOMINIS
HOW COMMON ARE SPIGELIAN HERNIAS?
2% OR FEWER
WHICH TYPE OF HERNIA HAS A 20-45% RECURRENCE RATE, EVEN AFTER REAPIR?
INCISIONAL HERNIA
GASTROESOPHAGEL REFLUX DISEASE IS MOST COMMONLY LINKED TO WHICH TYPE OF HERNIA?
HIATAL HERNIA
