Inguinal canal
Definition :• It is a musculoaponeurotic tunnel extending from
superficial inguinal ring to the deep inguinal ring.• The inguinal canal is about 4 cm long and is
directed obliquely and inferomedially through the inferior part of the anterolateral abdominal wall.
• The canal lies parallel to the medial half of the inguinal ligament.
![Page 9: INGUINAL CANAL Dr.LUBNA NAZLI ASST. PROF. ANATOMY RAK MHSU Dt. 12/11/2007 Mon 8.30 a.m-9.30 am](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649cd75503460f9499e9ce/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Inguinal ligament:
• This ligament extends from the anterior superior iliac spine to the pubic tubercle. It is the lower free edge of the external oblique aponeurosis.
![Page 11: INGUINAL CANAL Dr.LUBNA NAZLI ASST. PROF. ANATOMY RAK MHSU Dt. 12/11/2007 Mon 8.30 a.m-9.30 am](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649cd75503460f9499e9ce/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Inlet of inguinal canal
• The inguinal canal has openings• the deep and superficial inguinal rings.
The deep inguinal ring is the entrance to the inguinal canal. • It is an oval gap in the transversalis fascia.• It is about 1.25 cm superior to the middle of the inguinal
ligament.• From the deep inguinal ring the vas deferens (or round
ligament of the uterus in the female), and gonadal vessels pass to enter the inguinal canal.
• The transversalis fascia continues into the canal, forming the innermost covering (internal fascia) of the structures traversing the inguinal canal.
![Page 12: INGUINAL CANAL Dr.LUBNA NAZLI ASST. PROF. ANATOMY RAK MHSU Dt. 12/11/2007 Mon 8.30 a.m-9.30 am](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649cd75503460f9499e9ce/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Outlet
• The superficial, or external inguinal ring is the exit from the inguinal canal.
• It is a slitlike opening in the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle, superolateral to the pubic tubercle.
• The medial and lateral margins of the superficial ring formed by the split in the aponeurosis are caller crura.
• The lateral crus is attached to the pubic tubercle and the medial crus is attached to the pubic crest.
![Page 14: INGUINAL CANAL Dr.LUBNA NAZLI ASST. PROF. ANATOMY RAK MHSU Dt. 12/11/2007 Mon 8.30 a.m-9.30 am](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649cd75503460f9499e9ce/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: INGUINAL CANAL Dr.LUBNA NAZLI ASST. PROF. ANATOMY RAK MHSU Dt. 12/11/2007 Mon 8.30 a.m-9.30 am](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649cd75503460f9499e9ce/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• The anterior wall of the canal is formed mainly by the aponeurosis of the external oblique with the lateral part of the wall being reinforced by fibres of the internal oblique.
• The posterior wall is formed by transversalis fascia with the medial part of the wall being reinforced by the conjoint tendon ( the merging of the internal oblique and transversus abdominal aponeurosis into a common tendon).
![Page 16: INGUINAL CANAL Dr.LUBNA NAZLI ASST. PROF. ANATOMY RAK MHSU Dt. 12/11/2007 Mon 8.30 a.m-9.30 am](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649cd75503460f9499e9ce/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• The roof of the inguinal canal is formed by the arching fibres of the internal oblique and transverse abdominal muscles.
• The floor is formed by the superior surface of the inguinal ligament. It is reinforced in the medial part by the lacunar ligament (a reflected part or extension from the deep aspect of the inguinal ligament to the pectineal line of the superior pubic ramus).
![Page 17: INGUINAL CANAL Dr.LUBNA NAZLI ASST. PROF. ANATOMY RAK MHSU Dt. 12/11/2007 Mon 8.30 a.m-9.30 am](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649cd75503460f9499e9ce/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Contents
• The main content of the inguinal canal is the spermatic cord in males and the round ligament of the uterus in females.
• The canal also transmits the blood and lymphatic vessels and the ilioinguinal nerve L1.
![Page 18: INGUINAL CANAL Dr.LUBNA NAZLI ASST. PROF. ANATOMY RAK MHSU Dt. 12/11/2007 Mon 8.30 a.m-9.30 am](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649cd75503460f9499e9ce/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Defensive mechanism(shutter mechanism)
• The canal passes obliquely through the three anterior abdominal muscles so the two rings are at different positions. When intra abdominal pressure is increased the canal closes like a flap valve.
• The canal is protected by two of the anterior abdominal muscles. The superficial ring is protected posteriorly by the conjoint tendon. The deep ring is posterior to the muscular fibres of internal oblique.
![Page 19: INGUINAL CANAL Dr.LUBNA NAZLI ASST. PROF. ANATOMY RAK MHSU Dt. 12/11/2007 Mon 8.30 a.m-9.30 am](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649cd75503460f9499e9ce/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Arched fibres of internal oblique and transversus act like demisphincters and obliterate the canal by bringing the roof in contact with the floor.
• Cremasteric plug: The cremaster muscle contracts and pulls the testis towards the superficial ring closing the outlet like a ball valve.
![Page 20: INGUINAL CANAL Dr.LUBNA NAZLI ASST. PROF. ANATOMY RAK MHSU Dt. 12/11/2007 Mon 8.30 a.m-9.30 am](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649cd75503460f9499e9ce/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Applied anatomy
• A hernia is a protrusion of tissue (usually parietal peritoneum and viscera such as fat,gut or omentum) through or alongside an opening in the abdomen that is designed to allow a normal structure to enter or exit.
Example: the deep inguinal ring may allow a hernia to appear alongside the spermatic cord, or in the femoral canal a hernia alongside the lymphatics.

TYPES OF HERNIAS
• Indirect hernias arise lateral to the inferior epigastric vessels.
• Direct hernias arise medial to the inferior epigastric vessels

Indirect or oblique hernias
• This is the most common of all abdominal hernias. It leaves the abdominal cavity lateral to the inferior epigastric vessels and enters the deep inguinal ring.
• The hernial sac is formed by a persistent processus vaginalis and is surrounded by all three fascial coverings of the spermatic cord.
• The hernia traverses the entire inguinal canal. It exits through the superficial inguinal ring and commonly enters the scrotum.
![Page 25: INGUINAL CANAL Dr.LUBNA NAZLI ASST. PROF. ANATOMY RAK MHSU Dt. 12/11/2007 Mon 8.30 a.m-9.30 am](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649cd75503460f9499e9ce/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Indirect or oblique hernia entering the scrotum
![Page 26: INGUINAL CANAL Dr.LUBNA NAZLI ASST. PROF. ANATOMY RAK MHSU Dt. 12/11/2007 Mon 8.30 a.m-9.30 am](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649cd75503460f9499e9ce/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Direct hernias
• This is also known as acquired inguinal hernia. • It is common in elderly men. The sac leaves the
abdominal cavity medial to the inferior epigastric artery.
• It protrudes through an area of relative weakness in the posterior wall of the inguinal canal. The hernial sac is formed by transversalis fascia. It lies outside the processus vaginalis, which is usually obliterated, parallel to the spermatic cord and outside the inner one or two fascial coverings of the cord.
![Page 27: INGUINAL CANAL Dr.LUBNA NAZLI ASST. PROF. ANATOMY RAK MHSU Dt. 12/11/2007 Mon 8.30 a.m-9.30 am](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649cd75503460f9499e9ce/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Direct hernias
• It does not traverse the entire inguinal canal.• The hernia protrudes through the inguinal
triangle of Hesselbach that lies between the inferior epigastric artery superolaterally, the rectus abdominis medially and the inguinal ligament inferiorly.
• It emerges through or around the conjoint tendon to reach the superficial inguinal ring, gaining an outer covering of external spermatic fascia inside or parallel to that on the cord. It almost never enters the scrotum.
