Learning Objective Describe the inguinal canal and ring. 4e:260 6e:256 5e:254 Clinical Consideration: Descent of the TESTES Cryptorchidism Most of the time, a boy's testicles descend by the time he is 9 months old. Undescended testicles are common in infants who are born early. The problem occurs less in full-term infants. Undescended testicle increases the risk of infertility (not being able to have children), testicular cancer, hernias and testicular torsion (twisting). An empty scrotum also can cause significant psychological stress as the boy gets older. For these reasons, early treatment is very important. Inguinal Hernias DIRECT INDIRECT Indirect inguinal Direct Inguinal hernias are a type hernias occur when of groin herniation, abdominal contents that arises from protrude through the protrusion of abdominal viscera deep inguinal ring, through a lateral to the inferior weakness of the posterior wall of epigastric vessels; this the inguinal canal may be caused by medial to the inferior epigastric failure of embryonic vessels, closure of the specifically processus vaginalis. through Hesselbach's triangle. Direct Versus Indirect Inguinal Hernia Direct Indirect Direct inguinal hernias are often Indirect inguinal hernias are caused by age-related stress and caused by a persistent opening weakened muscles in the that does not close during fetal inguinal canal. development. 4e:261 6e:----- 5e: ----- Thought you would like to see how bowel can herniate into the scrotum! Hiatal Hernia Hiatal Hernia: Protrusion of any abdominal structure/organ into the thorax through a lax diaphragmatic esophageal hiatus. In 95% of cases, a portion of the stomach is herniated. Umbilical Hernia Umbilical hernias occur when part of your intestine bulges through the opening in your abdominal muscles near your bellybutton (navel). Umbilical hernias are common and typically harmless. Umbilical hernias are most common in infants, but they can affect adults as well. Learning Objective Describe the structure and function of the small intestine, mesentery, greater omentum, lesser omentum, and peritoneal ligament. Peritoneum The peritoneum is a thin, transparent membrane that consists of 2 layers: Parietal peritoneum: lines abdominal wall Visceral peritoneum: covers abdominal viscera + forms serosa of organs Mesentery Mesentery: double layer of peritoneum that encloses an organ and connects it to the abdominal wall. It changes names depending on the organ involved: (i.e. mesogastrium, transverse mesocolon, mesoappendix) 4e:348 6e:321 5e:323 Omentum: doubled- layered sheet of peritoneum that attaches the stomach to the abdominal wall or other abdominal organs Greater omentum: fat-laden fold of peritoneum that hangs down from the greater curvature of the stomach like an apron and connects the stomach with the diaphragm, spleen and the transverse colon. Lesser omentum: connects lesser curvature of the stomach and proximal part of the duodenum to the liver. Individually these connections are referred to as hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal ligaments. Greater Omentum Lesser Omentum Peritoneal Ligament Peritoneal ligament: double layer of peritoneum that connects an organ to another organ or the abdominal wall. These ligaments contain vessels or remnants of vessels.
