THE ROLE OF LOW LYING PUBIC TUBERCLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INGUINAL HERNIA -A CASE CONTROL STUDY

Dr. Senthilvel, Dr. Vimal, Dr. Thangamani

Abstract :

 

Hernia is the abnormal protrusion of a part or whole of the viscus through a normal or abnormal opening in the cavity that contains it.¹ There are two types of inguinal hernia, direct and indirect, which are defined by their relationship to the inferior epigastric vessels. Direct inguinal hernias occur medial to the inferior epigastric vessels when abdominal contents herniate through a weak spot in the fascia of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal, which is formed by the transversalis fascia. Indirect inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents protrude through the deep inguinal ring, lateral to the inferior epigastric vessels;² this may be caused by failure of emyonic closure of the processus vaginalis. Inguinal canal is 3.75cm in length³ extends from deep to superficial inguinal ring. There are various defensive mechanisms of the inguinal canal to prevent the formation of hernia which are based on anatomical factors.
