TYPES OF ANTERIOR ABDOMINAL WALL HERNIA?
> GROIN > INGUINAL/ FEMORAL > UMBILICAL > EPIGASTRIC > SPIGELLIAN > INCISIONAL HERNIA
ANATOMY OF INGUINAL CANAL (WALLS)?
ANTERIOR WALL
- aponeurosis of external oblique muscle
POSTERIOR WALL
- transverse fascia
SUPERIOR WALL
- arching fibres of internal oblique m. + transverse abdominis m.
INFERIOR WALL
- in rolled edge of inguinal ligament
INTERNAL RING
- round ligament / spermatic cord emerge through transverse fascia
EXTERNAL INGUINAL RING
- V-shaped opening of anterior wall immediately superior to pubic tubercle
ANATOMY OF FEMORAL CANAL
ANTERIOR WALL
- inguinal ligament
POSTERIOR WALL
- iliopectineal line
MEDIAL WALL
- lacunar part of inguinal ligament
LATERAL WALL
- femoral vein
MOST COMMON TYPE OF ANTERIOR ABDOMINAL WALL HERNIA?
INGUINAL HERNIA
80% OF CASES
TYPES OF INGUINAL HERNIA?
- DIRECT
- sac doesn’t protrude through inguinal canal - INDIRECT
- sac protrudes through inguinal canal
EPIGASTRIC HERNIA
PROTRUSION OF PREPERITONEAL FAT THROUGH FASCIAL DEFECT IN DECUSSATING FIBRES OF SUPRAUMBILICAL PORTION OF LINEA ALBA
> peritoneal sac may accompany fat through defect > containing momentum or rarely bowel
SPIGELIAN HERNIA
INTERPARIETAL HERNIA IN LINEA SEMILUNARIS
> lateral margin of rectus sheath > run from tip of 9th costal cartilage to pubic crest
INCISIONAL HERNIA
OCCURS THROUGH WOUND > CICATRIX
OF PREVIOUS OPERATIONS
> POST OPERATIVE COMPLICATION
TYPES OF ADULT UMBILICAL HERNIA
- TRUE UMBILICAL
