Direct inguinal hernias may occur in males or females, but males are ten times more likely to get a direct inguinal hernia. [15] A direct inguinal hernia protrudes through a weakened area in the transversalis fascia near the medial inguinal fossa within an anatomic region known as the inguinal or Hesselbach's triangle, an area defined by the ...
Umbilical hernia* is a failure of the umbilical ring of the abdominal wall to close. They are very common and can be caused by genetics or by traction on the umbilical cord or by the cord being cut too close to the body. They are corrected by surgery. [164] Inguinal hernia* is a protrusion of abdominal contents through the inguinal canal. They ...
An indirect inguinal hernia and a direct inguinal hernia can be distinguished by their positioning in relation to the inferior epigastric vessels. An indirect hernia is situated laterally to these vessels, whereas a direct hernia is positioned medially to them. Inguinal hernias are the most common type of hernia in both men and women.
A hernia that exits the abdominal cavity directly through the deep layers of the abdominal wall, thereby bypassing the inguinal canal, is known as a direct inguinal hernia. In males with strong presentation of the cremasteric reflex , the testes can—during supine sexual activity or manual manipulation—partially or fully retract into the ...
Inguinal hernia is the most common type of hernia and consist of about 75% of all hernia surgery cases in the US. Inguinal hernia, which results from lower abdominal wall weakness or defect, [2] is more common among men with about 90% of total cases. [3] [4] In the inguinal hernia, fatty tissue or a part of the small intestine gets inserted ...
Left and right inguinal regions shown in lower part of diagram. In human anatomy, the groin, also known as the inguinal region or iliac region, [1] is the junctional area between the torso and the thigh. [2] The groin is at the front of the body on either side of the pubic tubercle, where the lower part of the abdominal wall meets the thigh.

A weakening of the conjoint tendon can precipitate a direct inguinal hernia. [1] [2] A direct inguinal hernia will protrude through Hesselbach's triangle, whose borders are the rectus abdominis (medially), inferior epigastric artery and inferior epigastric vein (superolaterally), and the inguinal ligament (inferiorly). The hernia lies medial to ...
