In medical terminology, "inguinal" refers to the groin area, which is the region where the abdomen meets the thigh. It is often associated with structures such as the inguinal canal, which is a passage in the lower abdominal wall that can be involved in conditions like inguinal hernias. The term is commonly used in discussions of anatomy, surgery, and pathology related to this area.
Inguinal
An inguinal hernia is the medical term meaning displacement of the intestines through the inguinal canal. Other relatively common types of hernias are umbilical, ventral, and incisional hernias.
inguinal hernia
The medical term for the crease between the upper thigh and pelvis is the "inguinal fold" or "inguinal region." This area is where the thigh meets the lower abdomen and is often referred to in discussions related to anatomy, surgery, or conditions affecting the groin.
The correct medical term for the two lines on a male leading from the hips to the groin area is the inguinal ligament.
adenopathy
Celeoplasty or herniorrhaphy is surgical repair of a hernia.
The word root for hernia repair is "rrhaphy," derived from the Greek word "rhaphē," meaning "suture." In medical terminology, it is often combined with a prefix that indicates the specific type of hernia being repaired, such as "inguinal" for inguinal hernia repair, resulting in "inguinal herniorrhaphy." This term reflects the surgical procedure of suturing the hernia defect.
The inguinal canal is a passage in the lower abdominal wall that runs from the deep inguinal ring to the superficial inguinal ring. It is significant for containing structures such as the spermatic cord in males and the round ligament of the uterus in females. The canal is also a common site for inguinal hernias, where abdominal contents can protrude. Its anatomy is crucial in both surgical procedures and understanding certain medical conditions.
The anatomical term for women's groins is the pubic region or inguinal area.
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.
