Overview
Directed inguinal hernia is caused by protrusion through Hesselbach triangle, passes medial to inferior epigastric vessels. Indirected inguinal hernia is caused by passes through internal inguinal ring, traverses inguinal canal to external ring, and may extend into scrotum in males and labia majora in females.
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- It is understood that indirect inguinal hernia is caused by:[1][2]
- Passes through internal inguinal ring, traverses inguinal canal to external ring
- May extend into scrotum in males and labia major in females
- Passes lateral to inferior epigastric vessels and has an oblique inferior course
- Considered a congenital defect and associated with a patent processus vaginalis
- It is understood that directed inguinal hernia is caused by:
| Predisposing factors •Being male •Having muscle weakness from birth along with a hernia sac •Having muscle weakness from aging •Having one or more inguinal hernia | Precipitating factors •Being overweight or having a recent,large weight loss •Having weak abdominal muscles from poor diet, lack of exercise or both •Straining during urination or bowel movements •Chronic cough,such as from smoking | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Incresed pressure in the compartment of the abdomen in develops | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Intra-abdominal wall of inguinal canal into the scrotum becomes weakend | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Causing the inguinal ring not to close | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Evolves into a hole or defect | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fat or part of the small intestine slides through the inguinal canal | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Swollen or enlarged scrotum | Feeling of weakness or pressure in the groin | Pain or discomfort | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Genetics
- Genes involved in the pathogenesis of inguinal hernia include microdeletion disorders such as 22q11.2 microdeletion.[3]
Microscopic Pathology
- On microscopic histopathological analysis, inflammatory infiltration, vascular damage and regressive nerve lesions, fibrohyaline degeneration and fatty dystrophy of the muscle fibers are characteristic findings of inguinal hernia. [4]
