OPEN INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR- OPERATIVE SURGERY
#surgicaleducator #operativesurgery #openinguinalherniarepair #usmle #babysurgeon #surgicaltutor
Dear viewers,
• Greetings from “Surgical Educator”
• Because of the popular demand by viewers of the YouTube channel “Surgical Educator”, I have decided to create and upload videos on common surgeries.
• I have already uploaded videos on open and Laparoscopic Appendicectomy, Thyroidectomy, Modified Radical Mastectomy and open and
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
• In this video today, I have discussed Open Inguinal Hernia Repair.
• However, these videos are not real surgeries but the theoretical aspect of operative surgery like going through an atlas of operative surgery.
• Along with these videos, I recommend you to watch real operative surgery videos as well and I will give a link for each surgery in the end of the video as end-cards, which I think will be very useful.
• This will give a very good opportunity for the surgical trainees to mentally rehearse various surgical steps in a sequential manner prior to actual surgery. You can watch the video in the following links:

• Thank you for watching the videos.
Spigelian hernias form a minority of all abdominal wall hernias. They occur between the layers of the abdominal wall, i.e. between the transversus abdominis and the internal oblique muscles through a small slit like or oval defect and may become incarcerated. A variety of intra abdominal organs have been reported in the hernia sac. Obstruction and strangulation are potential complications but they are rare. The clinical diagnosis of a Spigelian hernia is difficult when it is small. We present here a large Spigelian hernia which persisted for very many years without any complications

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility...Sujoy Dasgupta
Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

3. Inguinal ligament
• Thick lower border of
aponeurosis of external
oblique
• Stretches between ASIS &
pubic tubercle.
• Lower border, it is fused
with fascia lata.
• Laterally fused with
iliopsoas fascia
• Medial end of inguinal
ligament, near its site of
attachment to pubic
tubercle, form triangular,
shelf-like lacunar ligament.
4. Inguinal canal
• Natural passageway between muscle layers of
anterior abdominal wall in region of groin
• Canal is an oblique tunnel, with deep (internal)
and superficial (external) openings or rings.
• Inguinal canal slants obliquely downwards and
medially, parallel to and just above the medial
part of the inguinal ligament.
• Extends from the deep to the superficial inguinal
rings
• Length: 3 and 6 cm(depends on age of individual)
5. BOUNDARIES
Anteriorly: Skin, superficial
fascia and aponeurosis of EO.
In its lateral third, anterior wall
is reinforced by the muscular fibres
of IO just above their origin from
iliopectineal arch.
Posteriorly : Reflected inguinal
ligament, conjoint tendon and
transversalis fascia
Superiorly: Arched fibres of IO
and transversus abdominis,
forming the conjoint tendon
medially.
Inferiorly: Union of transversalis
fascia with inguinal ligament
Medial end: Lacunar ligament.
6. Contents
• Spermatic cord
Spermatic cord constitutes- vas deferens, testicular & cremastic
arteries , pampiniform plexus of veins, lymphatics
• Ilioinguinal nerve
• Genital branch of genitofemoral nerve
• Females – Round ligament is present instead of spermatic cord.
7. Superficial inguinal ring
• Hiatus in the aponeurosis of external oblique, Lies 1.25
cm above and lateral to pubic tubercle
• Triangular, with its apex pointing laterally towards
ASIS
• The ring is smaller in the female.
8. Deep inguinal ring
• U shaped condensation of the fascia
trasversalis
• Approximately midway between the anterior
superior iliac spine and the pubic symphysis,
and about 1.25 cm above inguinal ligament.
• Oval, with a roughly vertical long axis.
• Size varies between individuals but it is usually
1–2 cm wide in adults and larger in male.
9. • Inferior epigastric vessels run in medial border
of deep inguinal ring.
• Traction on fascial ring exerted by contraction
of internal oblique may narrow opening when
intra-abdominal pressure is increased.
10. Conjoint tendon
• Formed from lower fibres of IO and lower part of the aponeurosis
of transversus abdominis.
• Attached to pubic crest and extends to a variable extent along
pectineal line
• Descends behind superficial inguinal ring and acts to strengthen the
medial portion of posterior wall of inguinal canal.
• Medially, upper fibres of tendon fuse with anterior wall of rectus
sheath
11. Midinguinal point : Halfway between ASIS &
pubic symphysis.
• In adults, it is the approximate surface marking
of the femoral artery (just below the ligament)
Midpoint of inguinal ligament: Midpoint
between ASIS and pubic tubercle
• Lies just lateral to mid-inguinal point.
18. Myopectineal orifice of Fruchaud
Lateral: Iliopsoas
Medial: Rectus Sheath & rectus abdominis
Superiorly: Arching fiber of transversus
abdominis and internal oblique
Inferior: Iliopectineal line and Cooper's
ligament and Pecten pubis
19.
20. Pectineal ligament
• Known as the inguinal ligament of Cooper
• Extension of the lacunar ligament that runs
along the pectineal line of the pubis (also
known as the pecten pubis).
22. • 2 spaces are potential non-natural cavities
under the lower anterior abdominal wall, and
they lie in between the superficial transverse
fascia and the peritoneum
• Created by blunt separation when performing
a laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
23. • Space of Retzius: Space formed by the fold of
the tight fusion of deep transverse fascia and
peritoneum between bladder and the
peritoneum, which includes the bladder and is
filled with loose connective tissue
24. Space of Bogros
• Located lateral to the space of Retzius
Boundaries
• Anteriorly by the superficial transverse fascia,
• Medially by the inferior epigastric blood vessels,
• Laterally by the pelvic wall
• Posteriorly by psoas muscle, external iliac vessels and
the femoral nerve.
• During laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, space of
Bogros is explored to access the iliac fossa as well as to
make it easier to open lateral mesh and lay it flat
26. Corona mortis
• Abnormal arterial or venous anastomosis
between external iliac, Inferior epigastric
artery and obturator system of vessels
• May cause significant hemorrhage during
pelvi-acetabular fracture surgeries, hernia
repair and laparoscopic gynecological
procedures.
27.
28. • 21 studies (n=2184 hemi-pelvises) were included in the
meta-analysis.
• Overall prevalence of the corona mortis in hemi-pelvises is
high (49.3%).
• A venous corona mortis is more prevalent than an arterial
corona mortis (41.7% vs. 17.0%). The corona mortis is more
common in Asia (59.3%) than in Europe (42.8%) and North
America (44.3%).
29. Defense mechanism of Inguinal canal
1. Obliquity of inguinal canal
two inguinal ring do not lie opposite to each other ,
therefore rise in intra-abdominal pressure
approximate anterior and posterior abdominal wall
called flap valve mechanism .
2. Ball and valve mechanism :
contraction of cremaster helps spermatic cord to
plug superficial inguinal ring
30. 3 . Shutter mechanism of internal oblique : as
internal oblique contribute to anterior wall , roof
and posterior wall of canal
When it contracts the roof is approximated to
floor like a shutter
4. Slit valve mechanism – Contraction of external
oblique , approximate two crura of superficial
inguinal ring
31. Clinical types
• Reducible –contents can be returned into the abdominal
cavity.
• Irreducible – contents cannot be returned into the abdominal
cavity.
• Obstructed – irreducibilty + intestinal obstruction, but the
blood supply is not impaired.
• Strangulated- Arrest of the blood supply leading to ischemia
and infarction.
• Incarcerated: Hernia is not only irreducible but also potentially
developing strangulation.
32. Epidemiology
•Approximately 7% of all surgical outpatient.
•Accounts for 96% groin hernias (other 4% are femoral)
•Bilateral in 20% of cases
•Lifetime risk of inguinal hernia: 10%
•M:F 9:1
33. • Affects 1-3% of young children
• In men the incidence rises from 11 per 10,000 person years aged
16-24 years to 200 per 10,000 person years aged 75 years or above.
• Extremely common; represents the most frequent problem
requiring surgical intervention in the paediatric age group
• Much more common in boys (90% of cases) than girls
• Definite familial tendency,
• more frequent on the right side as a result of later descent of the
right testis and delayed obliteration of the right processus vaginalis.
34.
35. Anatomical classification
• Indirect hernia – more common about 2/3 of
inguinal hernia .
• It is more common in young
• Direct hernia- more common in old
36. Indirect inguinal hernia
• Indirect/Lateral/oblique is most common of
two types of inguinal hernia (65% of inguinal
hernia , and 55% are right sided , 12% B/L)
• In most of all indirect hernia ,embryonic
processus vaginalis remains open or patent
considered congenital origin
• Protruding peritoneal sac enters inguinal canal
through deep inguinal ring
• Origin is lateral to inferior epigastric artery
37. • Bubonocele –Limited to inguinal canal
• Funicular – Just above testis
• Complete or Vaginal – Reached to scrotum
38. Direct inguinal hernia
• Peritoneal sac enters medial end of inguinal
canal directly through weakened posterior
wall
• Considered acquired , as it develops when
musculature has been weakened
• Medial to inferior epigastric vessels
39.
40. Sliding hernia
• Third type of inguinal hernia ,
• Also an acquired hernia due to wearing of
abdominal wall , but occurs at deep inguinal
ring lateral to inferior epigastric vessels ,
• Retroperitoneal fatty tissue is pushed
downwards along inguinal canal
• However sac has formed secondarily ,
distinguishing it from classical indirect hernia ,
• Left- sigmoid colon may be pulled
• Right - caecum
42. Sac
• Diverticuliculum of peritoneum
• Mouth, neck , body , fundus
• Usually neck is well defined and its diameter is
important
• Covering –Derived from layers of abdominal wall
through which sac passes , in long standing cases
, covering may be atrophied
That makes anatomy indistinguishable
43. Contents
• Omentum – omentocele
• Intestine –enterocle
• Portion of the circumference of the bowel: Richter’s Hernia
• Portion of the urinary bladder.
• Appendix: Amyand's hernia
• Meckel’s diverticulum: Littre’s hernia
• Fallopian tubes
• Maydl's hernia:
Rare type of incarcerated hernia popularly known as a hernia in “W”
which describes the orientation of the bowel in hernia sac
vulnerability of central segment of bowel to undergo intra-abdominal
closed-loop strangulation which may go unnoticed.
• Fluid – part of ascites
44. Direct hernia
• Contents herniate directly through posterior wall of
inguinal canal through Hesselbach’s triangle
• Weakness in posterior wall of inguinal canal
• Bounded laterally -inferior epigastric artery,
medially – lateral border of rectus abdominus muscle
inferiorly – inguinal ligament
45. Presentation
• Often Asymptomatic
• Groin bulge
• Dull felling or heaviness in groin
• Focal pain/ burning sensation (suspicion of incarceration or strangulation)
• Pain
Localized pain
Referred pain
Generalized pain
• Nausea and vomiting
• Constipation
• Urinary symptoms
46. Presentation
• At first appearance, it is easily reducible.
• With time it can no longer be reduced, it is irreducible or
incarcerated.
• Strangulation: when visceral contents of the hernia become
twisted or entrapped by the narrow opening.
Strangulation usually leads to bowel obstruction with sudden,
severe pain in the hernia, vomiting and irreducibility.
