Hernias,Abdomen, Surgical technology Flashcards
indirect hernia
patent processus vaginalis
most common
superior and lateral to epigastric muscles
runs medial to cord structures
vas deferens
forms external abdominal oblique fascia and shelving edge
external abdominal oblique
forms cremasteric muscles
internal abdominal oblique
forms inguinal canal floor
transversalis muscle
lacunar ligamnet
where inguinal ligament splays out to insert in the pubis
below inguinal ligament , from transversalis
ileopubic tract
composed of aponeurosis of the internal abdominal oblique and transversus abdomins muscles
conjoined tendon
hasselbachs traiangle
medial - rectus muscle
inferior - inguinal ligament
superior - inferior epigastric
direct hernias
lower risk of incarceration
rare in females
inferior/medial to epigastric vessels
lichtenstein repair
decreases reccurence of hernia by using mesh
decreases tension
bassini repair
approximation of the conjoined tendon and transversalis fascia (superior) to the free edge of the inguinal ligament (inferior)
Mcvay repair
approximation of the conjoined tendon and transversalis fascia to coopers ligament
needs a relaxing incsions in the external abdominal oblique fascia
most common early complication following hernia repair
urinary retention
testicular atrophy after hernia repair
secondary to dissection of the distal component of the hernia sac causing vessel disruption
thrombosis of spermatic cord veins
usually with indirect hernia repair
