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.
Open inguinal herniorrhaphy
The inguinal ligament runs deep to the external oblique muscle.
No, an oblique incision is not the same as a transverse incision. An oblique incision is made at an angle to the body's axis, typically used to facilitate access to certain anatomical structures. In contrast, a transverse incision runs horizontally across the body, parallel to the ground. Each type of incision serves different surgical purposes and is chosen based on the specific requirements of the procedure.
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.
The inguinal canal is located in the lower abdominal region, specifically in the groin area. It runs from the deep inguinal ring, located in the transversalis fascia, to the superficial inguinal ring, which is an opening in the external oblique aponeurosis. This canal is significant as it allows for the passage of structures such as the spermatic cord in males and the round ligament in females. It also serves as a potential site for inguinal hernias.
McBurney's incision is a surgical technique used to access the appendix during an appendectomy. It involves making a small oblique incision in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen at the McBurney's point, which is one-third of the distance between the right anterior superior iliac spine and the umbilicus. This incision allows for efficient removal of the appendix while minimizing scarring and postoperative complications.
From superficial to deep the mucsles are: external oblique internal oblique transversus abdominis
This procedure is called an inguinal orchiectomy because the surgeon makes the incision, which is about 3 in (7.6 cm) long, in the patient's groin area rather than directly into the scrotum.
Inguinal hernia
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
Inguinal
Herniation. A inguinal hernia is a protrusion of any bowel content (including omental fat) through the lower abdominal musculature.inguinal hernia
