Mnemonic: MALT

47
Q

What is the roof border of the inguinal canal?

A

Roof - formed by Muscles: internal oblique, transversus abdominis

Mnemonic: MALT

48
Q

What are the male contents of the inguinal canal?

A

Male: spermatic cord and ilioinguinal nerve

Illioinguinal nerve
Blood and lymphatics

49
Q

What are the female contents of the inguinal canal?

A

Female: round ligament of the uterus and ilioinguinal nerve (*ilioinguinal nerve enters the scrotum through superficial ring, but does not travel through the inguinal canal)

Illioingual canal
Blood and lympathics

50
Q

Name the layers of the spermatic cord

A

Internal spermatic fascia

52
Q

What is the function of psoas major?

A

53
Q

What is the function of quandratus lumborum?

A

Extension and lateral flexion of vertebral column

54
Q

What vertebral level does the caval opening occur?

A

T8

Diaphragm apertures spinal levels:

Aortic hiatus = 12 letters = T12

Oesophagus = 10 letters = T10

A

Vagotomy

A surgical procedure where a portion of the vagus nerve is severed to reduce acid secretion in the stomach.

performed to help manage peptic ulcer disease. There are different types of vagotomies that are performed depending on the condition of the patient.

The basic types of vagotomy include truncal vagotomy, selective vagotomy and highly selective vagotomy. A truncal vagotomy cuts the trunk of the vagus nerve before it enters the abdomen. Selective vagotomy involves severing between the anterior and posterior nerves of Laterjet and denervating the pylorus. Highly selective vagotomy involves denervation of the fundus and body of the stomach, while preserving the antrum and pylorus.
