What is the difference between a hiatal hernia and an inguinal hernia?
None. But there are two types of inguinal herniae (or hernias): direct and indirect. Direct inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents herniate through a weak point in the fascia of the abdominal wall and into the inguinal canal. Indirect inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents protrude through the deep inguinal ring; this is ultimately caused by failure of embryonic closure of the processus vaginalis.
Why will guys have guts drop into their balls?
I'm sorry, what? There is a circular "weak spot" in the anterior abdominal wall that is known as the deep inguinal ring. The testes traveled through this ring and then through the superficial inguinal ring in development and that is how the testes receive vessels and innervation. Furthermore, the vas deferens enters the abdomen through this ring in order to connect with the seminal vesicle to form an ejaculatory duct. This "defect" in the anterior abdominal wall is one of two ways (Direct and Indirect) to herniate abdominal viscera. By increasing intra-abdominal pressure by valsalva maneuver (think... straining on the toilet), there is pressure on the viscera pushing outwards. The deep inguinal ring is one of the weakest spots, so the excess pressure can push a loop of bowel through the inguinal canal and into the scrotum. This is known as an indirect inguinal hernia.
What is an inguinal hernia?
the inguinal canal is situated in the lower abdominal wall. horizontally and medially directed. length is about 4cm. extent: superficial inguinal ring to the deep inguinal ring. boundaries anterior wall: aponeurosis of the external oblique abdominis. origin of internal oblique abdominis. posterior wall: transversalis fascia reflected part of the inguinal ligament. floor: grooved surface of the inguinal ligament and lacunar ligament. roof: arched inferior fibres of internal oblique and transverse abdominis.

What is the purpose of inguinal hernia repair?
Inguinal hernia repair is performed to close or mend the weakened abdominal wall of an inquinal hernia.
When a hernia occurs in the hesselbach's triangle is it direct?
Yes, an inguinal hernia through Hesselach's triangle (or the inguinal triangle) is a direct inguinal hernia. An indirect inguinal hernia goes through the deep inguinal ring and continues through the inguinal canal.
What opening does the spermatic cord pass through into in the abdominal cavity through an opening in the abdominal wall?
Passes through the inguinal canal
What bone's Tubercle serves as an attachment point for the inguinal ligament?
The inguinal ligament is a specialization of the inferior border of the external abdominal oblique aponeurosis; it is the site of origin for a part of the internal abdominal oblique muscle and for a part of the transversus abdominis muscle; also known as: Poupart's ligament So basically: - External abdominal muscle - Internal abdominal muscle - Transversus abdominis muscle
What term describes the protrusion of a small loop of bowel through a weak place in the lower abdomal wall?
Herniation. A inguinal hernia is a protrusion of any bowel content (including omental fat) through the lower abdominal musculature.inguinal hernia
What is the appearance of an inguinal hernia?
In the area where the upper leg meets the body. It is called the groin area. The inguinal canal resides at the base of the belly. Both men and woman have an inguinal canal. In men, the testes usually descend through this canal shortly before birth. In women, the canal is the location for the uterine ligament. If you have a hernia in this passage, it results in a protruding bulge that may be painful during movement.
What is a lower oblique inguinal incision?
From Alexander's: An oblique right or left inguinal incision extends from the public tubercle to the anterior iliac crest, slightly above and parallel to the inguinal crease. This is the standard incision for open inguinal herniorrhaphy. Incision through the external oblique muscle provides access to the cremaster muscles, inguinal canal, and cord structures. This incision does not typically interrupt major abdominal arteries. Long, lower abdominal oblique incisions are used for transplant, urologic, and vascular procedures. Those incisions require transection of the abdominal wall and flank musculature. They may require ligation of the deep inferior epigastric artery.
What special structure in the male emerges from the superficial inguinal ring?
