- 4. Anatomy Anatomy The inguinalcanal :- The inguinal canal is approximately 4 cm long and is directed obliquely inferomedially through the inferior part of the anterolateral abdominal wall. The canal lies parallel and 2-4 cm superior to the medial half of the inguinal ligament.This ligament extends from the anterior superior iliac spine to the pubic tubercle. The inguinal canal has openings at either end : – The deep (internal) inguinal ring is the entrance to the inguinal canal. It is thesite of an outpouching of the transversalis fascia. This is approximately 1.25 cm superior to the middle of the inguinal ligament The superficial, or external inguinal ring is the exit from the inguinal canal. It is a slitlke opening between the diagonal fibres of the aponeurosis of the external oblique
- 5. Inguinal canal Inguinal canal walls of The inguinal canal :- The anterior wall is formed mainly by the aponeurosis of the external Oblique . The posterior wall is formed mainly by transversalis fascia The roof is formed by the arching fibres of the internal oblique and transverse abdominal muscles. The floor is formed by the inguinal ligament, which forms a shallow trough. It is reinforced in its most medial part by the lacunar ligament.
- 7. Content :- 1. Spermaticcord ( round ligament of the uterus in female ) The Cord Itself.—The contents of the spermatic cord are (a) the ductus (vas) deferens and its artery . (b) the testicular artery and venous (pampiniform) plexus. (c) the genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve. (d) lymphatic vessels and sympathetic nerve fibers. (e) fat and connective tissue surrounding the cord and its coverings in various amounts 2. Ilioinguinal nerve . 3. Ilioinguinal lymph node .
- 8. Femoral Canal Femoral Canal Themajor feature of the femoral canal is the femoral sheath. This sheath is a condensation of the deep fascia (fascia lata) of the thigh and contains, from lateral to medial, the femoral artery, femoral vein, and femoral canal. The femoral canal is a space medial to the vein that allows for venous expansion and contains a lymph node (node of Cloquet). Other features of the femoral triangle include the femoral nerve, which lies lateral to the sheath, Wall of The Femoral canal anterior is the inguinal ligament posterior is the iliopsoas, pectineal, and long adductor muscles (floor). Medial is lacunar ligament Lateral is femoral vessle

- 14. Inguinal hernia Inguinal hernia Examination: 1.Inspection for site, size, shape and color. 2.Palpation for surface, temp, tenderness, composition and reducibility. 3.Expansible cough impulse. 4.General exam: for common causes of increase intra abdominal pressure
- 15. Indirect Versus Directinguinal Indirect Versus Direct inguinal hernias hernias Indirect is the most common form of hernia and its usually congenital due to patent processus viginalis Direct usually acquired occur in old men with weak abdominal muscles.
- 16. Indirect Versus Directinguinal hernias Indirect Inguinal Hernia Direct Inguinal Hernia Pass through inguinal canal. Bulge from the posterior wall of the inguinal canal Can descend into the scrotum. Cannot descent into the scrotum. Lateral to inferior epigastric vessels. Medial to inferior epigastric vessels. Reduced: upward, then laterally and backward. Reduced: upward, then straight backward. Controlled: after reduction by pressure over the internal (deep) inguinal ring. Not controlled: after reduction by pressure over the internal (deep) inguinal ring. The defect is not palpable (it is behind the fibers of the external oblique muscle). The defect may be felt in the abdominal wall above the pubic tubercle. After reduction: the bulge appears in the middle of inguinal region and then flows medially before turning down to the scrotum. After reduction: the bulge reappears exactly where it was before. Common in children and young adults. Common in old age.
- 17. Note that examinationusing finger and thumb across the neck of the scrotum will help to distinguish a swelling of inguinal origin and one that is entirely intrascrotal
- 18. Femoral hernia Femoral hernia Smallfemoral hernia may be unnoticed by the patient or disregarded for years perhaps until the day it strangulates. Adherence of the greater omentum sometimes causes a dragging pain. Rarely a large sac is present .
- 19. Femoral hernia Femoral hernia History Age ; uncommon in children , most common in old age female . Sex; women > men (but still commonest hernia in women the inguinal hernia ) The patient came with local symptoms 1- discomfort and pain 2- swelling in the groin General ; femoral hernia is more likely to be strangulated than the inguinal hernia Multiplicity ; often bilateral

- 26. Pre op evaluation&preparation Pre op evaluation &preparation Watchful Waiting Surgical TTT May be appropriate for pt with asymptomatic hernia or elderly pt with minimal symptoms or easily reduced inguinal hernia. Routine F/U with health care professional A Randomized trial concluded that this is an acceptable option for men with minimally symptomatic inguinal hernia and that delaying repair until symptoms increase is safe due to low rate of incarceration. 23% of pt initially treated with watchful waiting crossed over to surgical ttt due to increase in symptoms (most often hernia-related pain) , only 1 pt (0.3%) experienced acute hernia incarceration without strangulation within 2years, a second had acute incarceration with Bowel obstruction at 4 years, corresponding to frequency of acute intervention of 1.8/1000 pt-years (JAMA 2006,295:285)
- 27. Pre op Pre oppreparation preparation Most pt are treated surgically Increase IAP abnormalities (Chronic cough, Constipation, Bladder outlet obstruction) should be evaluated and remedied to extent possible before elective herniorrhaphy. In case of intestinal obstruction and possible strangulation, Broad spectrum AB,NG suction may be indicated, correction of volume status& elctroyles.
- 28. Reduction Reduction Uncomplicated: ManualGentle pressure over hernia Gentle traction over the mass sedation and trendelenburg position. Complicated (strangulated): no attempt should be made to reduce the hernia because of potential reduction of gangrenous segment of bowel with the hernial sac.
- 29. Surgerical TTT Surgerical TTT 1.choice of anesthetic: elective open repair : Local is preferred Laproscopic hernia repair: more commonly under GA.
- 30. 2.TTT OF HERNIALSAC 2.TTT OF HERNIAL SAC INDIRECT: sac is dissected free from the cord structures and creamsteric fibers. Sac should be open away from any herniated contents. Contents are then reduced, and the sac is ligated deep to inguinal ring with an absorbable suture DIRECT: Too broadly based for ligation and should not be opened, simple freed from transversalis fibers and inverted.
- 31. 3.Inguinal Floor 3.Inguinal Floor Reconstruction Reconstruction Some method of reconstruction of the inguinal floor is necessary in all adult hernia repairs to prevent recurrence. 3 . Inguinal Floor Reconstruction Primary tissue repair Open tension free repair Laproscopic & preperitoneal repair
- 32. 1.Primary tissue repair 1.Primarytissue repair Bassini repair: inferior arch of transversalis fascia (TF) or conjoint tendon is approximated to shelving portion of inguinal ligament. McVay: TF is sutured to cooper ligament. Shouldice: TF is incised and reapproximated.
- 33. 2.Open tension free 2.Opentension free repair repair Lichtenstein repair &Patch and Plug technique: Mesh is used to reconstruct inguinal floor Mesh plug technique : place mesh in the hernial defect
- 34. Laproscopic & Laproscopic & preperitonealrepairs preperitoneal repairs TAPP (transabdominal prepeitoneal procedure): peritoneal space entered by conventional lap at umbilicus and peritoneum overlaying inguinal floor is dissected away as flap. TEP (Total extraperitoneal repair): preperitoneal space is developed with a balloon inserted between posterior rectus sheath and peritoneum balloon inflated to dissect the peritoneal flaps awau from posterior abdomianl wall and the direct and indirect spaces, other ports inserted into this preperitoneal space without entering peritoneal cavity. After lap. Dissection and reduction of hernia sac , a large piece of mesh is placed over inguinal floor
- 35. Femoral hernia repair Femoralhernia repair • Femoral hernias should be repaired very soon after the diagnosis has been made because of the high risk of strangulation. • There is no place for a truss for a femoral hernia. • Different approaches : Open VS Laparoscopic
- 36. Open surgery Open surgery Threeapproaches have been described for open surgery : 1. Infra-inguinal approach (Lookwood) 2. Supra-inguinal approach ( McEvedy) 3. Trans-inguinal approach ( Lotheissen)
- 37. Each techniquehas the principle of dissection of the sac with reduction of its contents, followed by ligation of the sac and closure between the inguinal and pectineal ligaments.
- 38. Lockwood’s infra-inguinal approach Lockwood’sinfra-inguinal approach The sac is dissected out below the inguinal ligament via groin crease incision. Then the sac is opened and the contents are inspected and reduced into the abdomen. Then the neck of the sac is pulled down , ligated and allowed to retract through femoral canal. Then close the femoral canal by mesh plug or non absorbable sutures.
- 39. McEvedy’s high approach McEvedy’shigh approach Vertical incision is made over the femoral canal and continued upwards above the inguinal ligament. This incision provides good access to the preperitoneal space and then to the peritoneum itself. Use finger dissection to sweep peritoneum from anterior abdominal wall , so the neck of the sac can be identified. Dissect the sac , reduce the contents and repair the defect by mesh or sutures.
- 40. Lotheissen‘s trans-inguinal approach Lotheissen‘strans-inguinal approach The incision is made superior and parallel to inguinal ligament extending from pubic tubercle to mid inguinal point.
