Inguinal Triangle
(Hesselbach's triangle )
Direct Hernia
A medical student was asked by her
preceptor to palpate the margin of the
superficial inguinal ring of a healthy male
patient. After passing her finger down
the edge of the medial crus of the
superficial inguinal ring, she felt a bony
protuberance deep to the lateral edge of
the spermatic cord, which she correctly
identified as the :
A.
pecten pubis
B.
pubic symphysis
C.
pubic tubercle
D.
iliopubic eminence
E.
iliopectineal line
In order to reduce a hernia (return
it to the abdominal cavity), a surgeon
finds it necessary to ligate an artery in
the extraperitoneal connective tissue
(preperitoneal fat) running vertically
just medial to the bowel as the bowel
passes through the abdominal wall. This
artery is the:
A.
Deep circumflex iliac
B.
Inferior epigastric
C.
Superficial circumflex iliac
D.
Superficial epigastric
E.
Superficial external pudendal
During a laparoscopic examination of the
deep surface of the lower anterior
abdominal wall (using a lighted scope on a
thin tube inserted through the wall), the
attending physician noted something of
interest and asked the young resident to
look at the medial inguinal fossa. To do so,
the young doctor would have to look at the
area between the:
A.
inferior epigastric artery and urachus
B.
medial umbilical ligament and urachus
C.
inferior epigastric artery and lateral
umbilical fold
D.
medial umbilical ligament and inferior
epigastric artery
E.
median umbilical ligament and medial
umbilical ligament
If one were to make an incision
parallel to and 2 inches above the
inguinal ligament, one would find the
inferior epigastric vessels between

External abdominal oblique and internal
abdominal oblique muscles

inguinal hernia; viewed from the
abdominal side, the hernial sac would
be found in which region?
A.
Deep inguinal ring

Lateral inguinal fossa
C.
Medial inguinal fossa

abdominis muscle lateral to the falx

Lateral border of rectus abdominus
muscle

External abdominal oblique aponeurosis
B.
Falx inguinalis
C.
Internal abdominal oblique muscle
D.

superficial inguinal ring and may
therefore be endangered during inguinal
hernia repair?
A.
Femoral branch of the genitofemoral
B.
Ilioinguinal
C.
Iliohypogastric
D.
Obturator
E.

During exploratory surgery of
the abdomen, an incidental finding
was a herniation of bowel between
the lateral edge of the rectus
abdominis muscle, the inguinal
ligament and the inferior epigastric
vessels. These boundaries defined
the hernia as a(n):
A.
Congenital inguinal hernia
B.
Direct inguinal hernia
C.
Femoral hernia
D.
Indirect inguinal hernia
