Types of hernia MB TypeDescription IncisionalHerniation IncisionalHerniation through an area weakened by a scar UmbilicalCongenital UmbilicalCongenital defect of the abdominal wall seen in infants as a swelling at the umbilicus ParaumbilicalAcquired ParaumbilicalAcquired defect above or below the umbilicus EpigastricOften EpigastricOften small painful swelling in the midline of abdomen above the umbilicus caused by a defect in linea alba, usually contains extrapentoneal fat FemoralHerniation FemoralHerniation through the femoral canal which appears 'below and lateral to the pubic tubercle'. More common in women than men InguinalTy InguinalTypically pically seen 'above and medial to the pubic tubercle' swelling is caused by weakness in the abdominal wall in the area of Hasselbach's triangle. Risk of strangulation is low. low. Indirect This is the most common. There are two types. First, congenital, which is caused by a patent processus vaginalis. Second, acquired, herniates through the deep ring and travels along the inguinal canal within the coverings of the spermatic cord. It can go into the scrotum. Risk of strangulation is high.

Usually occurs in males
b.
Acquired deficiency in transversus abdominis muscle
Symptoms
3
VI.
A.

B.
Pain or dull sensation in groin
Signs A.
Palpable defect or swelling may be present 1.
Indirect Hernia may bulge at Internal Inguinal Ring a.
2.
B.
a.
Look for bulge site at pubic tubercle
b.
Occurs just above inguinal ligament
c.
Seen medial and inferior to indirect hernia bulge
Experienced clinicians are incorrect in 30% of cases
C.
Indirect inguinal hernia palpation difficult in women
D.
Inguinal hernias difficult to palpate in children
Differential Diagnosis A.
VIII.
Direct Hernia may bulge at External Inguinal Ring
Distinguishing indirect and direct hernias difficult 1.
VII.

Technique: Ultrasound in various patient positions 1.
Supine
2.
Upright
3.
Valsalva maneuver

2.
High Test Specificity a.
IX.
Look for bulge site at mid-inguinal ligament
Distinguish Incarcerated Hernia from firm mass

FEMORAL HERNIA I.
Epidemiology A.
Accounts for 4% of Groin Hernias (96% are inguinal)
B.

Femoral canal is continuation of femoral sheath
2.
Femoral canal lies immediately medial to femoral vein
