Inguinofemoral Area Inguinofemoral Area Inguinal Canal Anatomy of the Inguinal Canal in Infants and Children There are readily apparent differences between the inguinal canals of infants and adults. In infants, the canal is short (1 to 1.5 cm), and the internal and external rings are nearly superimposed upon one another. Scarpa's fascia is so well developed that the surgeon may mistake it for the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle, resulting in treating a superficial ectopic testicle as an inguinal cryptorchidism. There also may be a layer of fat between the fascia and the aponeurosis. We remind surgeons of the statement of White that the external oblique fascia has not been reached as long as fat is encountered. In a newborn with an indirect inguinal hernia, there is nothing wrong with the posterior wall of the inguinal canal. Removal of the sac, therefore, is the only justifiable procedure. However, it is extremely difficult to estimate the weakness of the newborn's posterior inguinal wall by palpation. If a defect is suspected, a few interrupted permanent sutures might be used to perform the repair. Adult Anatomy of the Inguinal Canal The inguinal canal in the adult is an oblique rift in the lower part of the anterior abdominal wall. It measures approximately 4 cm in length. It is located 2 to 4 cm above the inguinal ligament, between the opening of the external (superficial) and internal (deep) inguinal rings. The boundaries of the inguinal canal are as follows: Anterior: The anterior boundary is the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle and, more laterally, the internal oblique muscle. Remember, there are no external oblique muscle fibers in the inguinal area, only aponeurotic fibers. Posterior: In about ¾ of subjects, the posterior wall (floor) is formed laterally by the aponeurosis of the transversus abdominis muscle and the transversalis fascia; in the remainder, the posterior wall is transversalis fascia only. Medially the posterior wall is reinforced by the internal oblique aponeurosis. Superior: The roof of the canal is formed by the arched fibers of the lower edge (roof) of the internal oblique muscle and by the transversus abdominis muscle and aponeurosis. Inferior: The wall of the canal is formed by the inguinal ligament (Poupart's) and the lacunar ligament (Gimbernat's). The boundaries of the rings are as follows: External ring (Fig. 1-1): There is a triangular opening of the aponeurosis of the external oblique, the base being part of the pubic crest with the margins formed by two crura, superior (medial) and inferior (lateral). The superior crura is formed by the aponeurosis of the external oblique itself; the inferior crura is formed by the inguinal ligament. To be more specific, the medial crus is attached to the lateral border of the rectus sheath and to the tendon of the rectus abdominis muscle in a very peculiar pathway. The lateral crus is attached to the pubic tubercle. Fig(1-1)Highly diagrammatic representation of the external inguinal ring.

Mastery of Surgery (4th ed). Philadelphia: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2001; with permission.) Internal ring (Fig. 1-2): The boundaries of this ring, which is an inverted "V" -or "U"- shaped normal defect in the transversalis fascia, are not so simple. The arms of the ∧, anterior and posterior, are a special thickening of the transversalis fascia, forming a sling. The inferior border is formed by another thickening of the transversalis fascia — the iliopubic tract— which is not always very aponeurotic. The internal inguinal ring is an opening of the transversalis fascia corresponding to the middle of the inguinal ligament (see section on sphincteric action under the physiology of the inguinal canal). Fig(1-2)Surgical anatomy of the internal inguinal ring. (Modified from Skandalakis JE, Skandalakis LJ, Colborn GL, Androulakis J, McClusky DA III, Skandalakis PN. The surgical anatomy of the hernial rings. In: Baker RJ, Fischer JE (eds). Mastery of Surgery (4th ed). Philadelphia: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2001; with permission.) The inguinal canal contains, in males, the spermatic cord, or in females, the round ligament of the uterus. The anterior wall of the inguinal canal is formed by the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle and by participation of the internal oblique muscle more laterally. As a point of reference, the internal oblique muscle in the inguinal area is muscular, not aponeurotic. The superior wall ("roof") of the inguinal canal is formed by the arching lower borders of the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles and their aponeuroses. The inferior wall of the inguinal canal is formed by the inguinal ligament and the lacunar ligament. The posterior wall is formed primarily by fusion of the aponeurosis of the transversus abdominis muscle and the transversalis fascia in three-fourths of subjects and by only the transversalis fascia in the remaining one- fourth. From both anatomic and surgical standpoints, the posterior wall (floor) is the most important wall of the inguinal canal. Medially the posterior wall is reinforced by the internal oblique aponeurosis. Fig(1-3)Piriform fossa of Fruchaud, popularized by Madden. (Modified from Colborn GL, Skandalakis JE. Importance of the iliopubic, Cooper's and Gimbernat's ligaments. Probl Gen Surg 1995;12:35-40; with permission.) According to Madden JL 1999, the "piriform fossa" forms part of the posterior wall ("floor") of the inguinal canal. This region is a semi-ovoid space filled with fibrofatty tissue, located at the medial part of the floor. The piriform fossa is bounded as follows (Fig. 1-3): Superior: Iliopubic tract (which inserts into Cooper's ligament) Inferior: Shelving edge of inguinal ligament Lateral: Medial wall of femoral sheath Medial: Ligament of Gimbernat "Floor": Ligament of Gimbernat Wantz noted that Fruchaud did not characterize hernias by their clinical presentation; instead, Fruchaud believed that all hernias of the groin begin within the groin, in an area he named the myopectineal orifice. This area in the groin is bounded as follows: Superior: Arch of internal oblique muscle and transversus abdominis muscle Lateral: Iliopsoas muscle Medial: Lateral border of rectus muscle and its anterior lamina Inferior: Pubic pectin The inguinal ligament spans and divides this framework. The area is traversed by the spermatic cord and femoral vessels and is covered on its inner surface solely by the transversalis fascia. Spermatic Cord The spermatic cord is presented in depth in the chapter on the male genital system. We include here a brief review of the surgical anatomy of this important entity in the inguinal canal. The spermatic cord consists of a matrix of connective tissue continuous proximally with extraperitoneal connective tissue. It contains the ductus deferens, three arteries, three veins, the pampiniform plexus, and two nerves, concentrically invested by three layers of tissue. One other nerve, the ilioingual nerve, usually lies just lateral to the major layers of the cord within the inguinal canal. The elements of the spermatic cord relate to each other as follows: 1) anterior is the pampiniform plexus, and 2) posterior are the ductus deferens and the remnant of the processus vaginalis or hernia sac. These anatomic entities, as well as other contained structures, are covered by the spermatic fasciae. The spermatic cord, on the way to the scrotum, lies deep to the fasciae of Camper and Scarpa. The components of the cord are noted in Table 9-6. The key to remember is "three": three layers of fasciae, three arteries, three veins, three nerves, as well as multiple lymphatics and one duct. Table 9-6. the Spermatic Cord and Its Covering Three fasciae: External spermatic (from external oblique fascia) Cremasteric (from internal oblique muscle and fascia) Internal spermatic (from transversalis fascia) Three arteries: Testicular artery Cremasteric artery Deferential artery Three veins: Pampiniform plexus and testicular vein Cremasteric vein Deferential vein Three nerves: Genital branch of genitofemoral nerve Ilioinguinal nerve Sympathetic nerves (testicular plexus) Lymphatics Source: Skandalakis JE, Colborn GL, Pemberton LB, Skandalakis LJ, Gray SW.

Superficial Fascia The superficial fascia (Fig.1-5) is divided into a superficial fatty part (Camper's fascia) and a deep membranous part (Scarpa's fascia). The adipose layer continues downward and laterally into the thigh, gluteal region, and perineum and upward over the anterior abdominal wall and thoracic region. The membranous layer of Scarpa is continuous upward with the fatty layer in the pectoral region, forming the anterior boundary of the retromammary space. Inferiorly, it attaches to the fascia lata of the thigh below the inguinal crease. It is also attached superolaterally to the iliac crest. According to Brantigan,57 Scarpa's fascia does not adhere to the symphysis pubis. Fig(1-5)Superficial fascia (dartos): composed of Scarpa's fascia (membranous) and muscle, and Camper's fascia, which is fatty. Gallaudet's fascia is a continuation of Buck's fascia. The adipose layer and the membranous layer combine in the pubic region, losing much of the fatty content. Together, they form the fundiform ligament, a relatively loose fibrous structure that attaches to the base of the penis (or the clitoris). There, receiving input of smooth muscle fibers, the superficial fascia continues as the dartos tunic of the penis and scrotum (or as the clitoris), where it serves as a superficial fascial layer. In the perineum, the membranous layer is renamed Colles' fascia (Fig.1-5). It attaches laterally to the ischiopubic rami and posteriorly to the base of the urogenital diaphragm. In this way, a space called the superficial perineal cleft is limited posteriorly and laterally.

Kovachev Department of General Surgery, Medical University, Pleven, Bulgaria Email: [email protected] Received 28 April 2014; revised 27 May 2014; accepted 26 June 2014 Copyright © 2014 by author and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Purpose: The anatomic region through which most inguinal hernias emerge is overcrowded by various anatomical structures with intricate relationships. This is reflected by the wide range of anatomic interpretations. Material and Methods: A prospective anatomic study of over 100 fresh cadavers and 47 patients operated on for femoral hernias. Results: It was found that the transver- salis fascia did not continue distally into the lymphatic lacuna. Medially this fascia did not reach the lacunar ligament, but was rather positioned above it forming laterally the vascular sheath. Here the fascia participates in the formation of a fossa, which varies in width and depth—the pre- peritoneal femoral fossa. The results did not confirm the presence of a femoral canal. The dis- tances were measured between the pubic tubercle and the medial margin of the femoral vein, and between the inguinal and the Cooper’s ligaments. The results clearly indicate that in women with femoral hernias these distances are much larger. Along the course of femoral hernia exploration we established the presence of three zones that are rigid and narrow.

  • Describe the Anatomy of the Inguinal Canal. How May Direct and Indirect Hernias Be Differentiated Anatomically
    Describe the anatomy of the inguinal canal. How may direct and indirect hernias be differentiated anatomically. How may they present clinically? Essentially, the function of the inguinal canal is for the passage of the spermatic cord from the scrotum to the abdominal cavity. It would be unreasonable to have a single opening through the abdominal wall, as contents of the abdomen would prolapse through it each time the intraabdominal pressure was raised. To prevent this, the route for passage must be sufficiently tight. This is achieved by passing through the inguinal canal, whose features allow the passage without prolapse under normal conditions. 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. It is the lower free edge of the external oblique aponeurosis. The main occupant of the inguinal canal is the spermatic cord in males and the round ligament of the uterus in females. They are functionally and developmentally distinct structures that happen to occur in the same location. The canal also transmits the blood and lymphatic vessels and the ilioinguinal nerve (L1 collateral) from the lumbar plexus forming within psoas major muscle. The inguinal canal has openings at either end – the deep and superficial inguinal rings. The deep (internal) inguinal ring is the entrance to the inguinal canal. It is the site of an outpouching of the transversalis fascia.

    Large-Scale Analysis of Iliopsoas Muscle Volumes in the UK Biobank Julie Fitzpatrick1*, Nicolas Basty1*+, Madeleine Cule2, Yi Liu2, Jimmy D. Bell1, E. Louise Thomas1, and Brandon Whitcher1 1Research Centre for Optimal Health, School of Life Sciences, University of Westminster, London, UK 2Calico Life Sciences LLC, South San Francisco, California, USA *joint first authors +email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Psoas muscle measurements are frequently used as markers of sarcopenia and predictors of health. Manually measured cross-sectional areas are most commonly used, but there is a lack of consistency regarding the position of the measurement and manual annotations are not practical for large population studies. We have developed a fully automated method to measure iliopsoas muscle volume (comprised of the psoas and iliacus muscles) using a convolutional neural network. Magnetic resonance images were obtained from the UK Biobank for 5,000 male and female participants, balanced for age, gender and BMI. Ninety manual annotations were available for model training and validation. The model showed excellent performance against out-of-sample data (dice score coefficient of 0.912 ± 0.018). Iliopsoas muscle volumes were successfully measured in all 5,000 participants. Iliopsoas volume was greater in male compared with female subjects. There was a small but significant asymmetry between left and right iliopsoas muscle volumes. We also found that iliopsoas volume was significantly related to height, BMI and age, and that there was an acceleration in muscle volume decrease in men with age. Our method provides a robust technique for measuring iliopsoas muscle volume that can be applied to large cohorts.
