The inguinal ligament (/ ˈ ɪ ŋ ɡ w ɪ n ə l / [1] [2]), also known as Poupart's ligament or groin ligament, is a band running from the pubic tubercle to the anterior superior iliac spine. It forms the base of the inguinal canal through which an indirect inguinal hernia may develop.
Post-herniorrhaphy inguinodynia is a condition where 10-12% of patients experience severe pain after inguinal hernia repair, due to a complex combination of different forms of pain signals. [87] [88] [12] It can occur with any inguinal hernia repair technique, and if unresponsive to pain medications, further surgical intervention is often ...
Post herniorrhaphy pain syndrome, or inguinodynia is pain or discomfort lasting greater than 3 months after surgery of inguinal hernia. Randomized trials of laparoscopic vs open inguinal hernia repair have demonstrated similar recurrence rates with the use of mesh and have identified that chronic groin pain (>10%) surpasses recurrence (<2%) and is an important measure of success.
The lump is more globular than the pear-shaped lump of the inguinal hernia. The bulk of a femoral hernia lies below an imaginary line drawn between the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic tubercle (which essentially represents the inguinal ligament) whereas an inguinal hernia starts above this line. Nonetheless, it is often impossible ...
Athletic pubalgia, also called sports hernia, [1] core injury, [2] hockey hernia, [3] hockey groin, [1] Gilmore's groin, [1] or groin disruption, [4] is a medical condition of the pubic joint affecting athletes. [5] It is a syndrome characterized by chronic groin pain in athletes and a dilated superficial ring of the inguinal canal.
An inguinal hernia or groin hernia is a hernia (protrusion) of abdominal cavity contents through the inguinal canal. Symptoms, which may include pain or discomfort especially with or following coughing, exercise, or bowel movements, are absent in about a third of patients. Symptoms often get worse throughout the day and improve when lying down.
Groin hernias are most commonly inguinal hernias but may also be femoral hernias. [1] Other types of hernias include hiatus, incisional, and umbilical hernias. [6] Symptoms are present in about 66% of people with groin hernias. [1] This may include pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen, especially with coughing, exercise, or urinating or ...
[3] [4] [5] However, in studies measuring patient quality of life, patients seem to be rarely bothered by the loss of sensation. [8] While both procedures are effective, the neurectomy has better outcomes on complete pain relief. [4] [8] [5] In a systematic review, complete pain relief was seen in 85% of neurectomy cases and 63% of ...
