What: The inguinal triangle, also called Hesselbach’s Triangle after Franz Caspar Hesselbach who first described the region, is a triangular region of potential weakness located on the inferoanterior (lower front) abdominal wall.
Importance: The inguinal triangle is used to define inguinal hernias, as the triangle contains the medial inguinal fossa, a depression through which inguinal hernias bulge through the abdominal wall.
Location: its medial border is formed the Rectus abdominis; the lateral border by the Inferior epigastric vessels; and the inferior border by the inguinal ligament (also called the Poupart’s ligament). The borders can easily be remembered using the mnemonic RIP.
Contents: Structures that lay within the triangle include the Lacunar and Cooper’s ligaments as well as the Ductus deferens.

A reactive lymph node is the same as an enlarged lymph node. Lymph nodes can become enlarged for a variety of reasons, most of which aren't serious. The ICD code for a reactive lymph node is 785.6.
A paraaortic prominent lymph node is a lymph node more noticable than the others and found near the aorta.
The difference between incision and excision of lymph nodes is very simple. The incision of a lymph node is when the biopsy only takes part of the lymph node during surgery. The excision of the lymph node is when the whole lymph node is removed.

A sentinel lymph node is the first lymph node that drains a cancer. If a cancer has not spread to the first draining lymph node near a cancer, there is a high likelihood it has not spread elsewhere.
