The posterior lamina of the rectus sheath is lined by transversus abdominal fascia, fascia transversalis.
The superior epigastric a. a. epigastrica superioris, one of the terminal branches of thoracica interna, which anastomosis with the inferior epigastric artery a. epigastrica inferior (branch of a. iliaca externa) at the level of the umbilicus, both gives feeding branches to the posterior lamina of the rectus sheath.
White line of the abdomen (The Linea alba):
It is a tendinous lamina formed by the intersection of the tendentious fibers of the aponeurosis of the 3 pairs of the broad abdominal muscles & dividing the rectus abdominis muscle. Extends from the xiphoid process towards the symphysis pubis across the median plane (30-40 cm) and getting broader along its way downwards. Width is different: at the xiphoid process - 0.5 cm, then it expands and at the level of the navel - 2-3 cm. Thickness above the navel - 1-2 mm, below the navel - 3-4 mm. White line hernias are more likely to occur above the navel, where the white line is thin and wide. With prolonged increase in the volume of the abdominal cavity, the tendon fibers of the white line can stretch and move apart, which leads to the formation of weak points.
The linea alba is among the weak points of the anterolateral abdominal wall, because:
1.It is a tendinous structure.
2.Not supported by any muscles,
3.It keeps the right and left abdominal muscles separated, shaped like an anchor which helps to absorb force or pressure to the abdomen.
4. Pregnancy weakness the linea alba, as the uterus stretches the anterolateral abdominal, linea alba separates. As a result, the linea alba loses elasticity and weakens.
5.Have no blood supply (bloodless field during incision) thus it has weak healing with high probability of incisional hernia more than paramedian incisions.

The retroinguinal space, (spatium retroinguinalis).
It is the space between the parietal peritoneum and the fascia transversalis, which corresponds to the deep inguinal ring, filled with cellular tissue.
Limits:
Superiorly, Lower borders of the internus obliques and transversus muscle. Inferiorly, inguinal ligament. Medially, the external border of the rectus abdominis.
The inguinal canal:
Is formed during embryogenesis due to the descend of the gubernaculum; a cord like structure which directs the migration of the testes from the posterior abdominal wall into the scrotum. This descend is accompanied by a peritoneal covering called the processes vaginalis which degenerates later on. It is situated between the broad abdominal wall superiorly and the medial half of the inguinal ligament. It has oblique shape, directed superiorly downwards, from medial to lateral. The length of the inguinal canal increases with age due to testicular descend in males.

N.B.
The inguinal canal in females; shorter and broader.
The inguinal canal has three passages; the deep inguinal ring superolaterally, the myopectineal orifice in the middle, and the superficial inguinal ring (annulus superficialis) infromedially, where their transverse locations improve its role in prevention of hernia formation.

Skeletopy of the inguinal region in relation to the pelvic skeleton:
The anterior border of the iliac bone, which presents from above to downward the anterior superior iliac spine, inferior gluteal line; the anterior inferior iliac spine, the iliopubic eminence, and the pectineal surface of the superior ramus of the pubic bone, which are bounded posteriorly by the pecten of the pubis and medially by the pubic tubercle.
The morphology of the pelvic skeleton has an important role in the occurrence of hernia, as there is a direct proportion between increasing the value of the angle of Radojevic and hernia formation. (Normal values 25-35°).
The myopectineal orifice is bounded superiorly by the conjoint tendon of internal oblique and transverse muscles, inferiorly by the anteroinferior part of the coccyx, the horizontal part of pubic bone, and is subdivided into two regions by the inguinal ligament into inguinal and femoral regions, explaining the relationship between direct and femoral hernia, one pushing anteriorly and the second one inferiorly.
The inguinal ligament lies inferior to the attachments of the myopectineal orifice, and it is widened around a center constructed by autonomous fibers of the lower part of the external oblique muscle aponeurosis. The iliopubic tract, (Iliopectineal bandelette, ligament of Gumbert) lies situated posterior to the lower free margin of the inguinal ligament extending from its external one-third and is parallel to the anterior aspect of the thigh and the anterior vascular sheath is also a fibrous structure which is composed of condensations of the transversalis fascia reinforcing the internal border of iliac, separating the femoral artery and the vein pass medially form the femoral nerve laterally.
Furthermore, where the femoral septum, which is an inferior expansion of the transversalis fascia, passes the lymphatics of the inferior extremities lies between the femoral vein and the ligament of Gumbert, which clarify the role of the ligament of Gumbert in the strangulation of formal hernias due to its resistant external border.
Cooper’s ligament (pectineal ligament), joins the inguinal ligament medially where it forms the lacunar ligament of Gumbert, is composed of three layers: A superficial fibrous layer where the vertical fibers of the aponeurosis of the pectineal muscle, transverse fibers that are running along the innominate line of the pelvis overlap, a middle, muscular layer is formed by the fibers of the pectineus muscle, a deep layer which is continuous with the periosteum of the superior pubic ramus. The thickened medial parts of the Cooper’s ligament represent an extreme mechanical resistance to hernia formation; Mc Vay procedure which automatically closes the inguinal and femoral passages when the sutures are in place relies on the medial thickness.
The rectus abdominis muscle extends from the pubic symphysis to the pubic tubercle, represents the internal border of the myopectineal orifice and is covered by the pyramidal muscle, which extends from the middle part of the median line to the horizontal branch of the pubis. Surgical significance: during hernia surgery; is its mobilization to be situated laterally and inferiorly either to the inguinal ligament or to the Cooper’s ligament, which is more facilitated by Mc Vay incision. The superior border of the myopectineal orifice is the conjoint tendon (tendo conjunctivus); which is anteriorly made by the transverse fibers of the internal oblique muscle, posteriorly by the transverse abdominis, extending from onethird external part of the inguinal ligament to the anterior face of rectus abdominis muscle.
The week sites in the myopectineal orifices are sites for hernia formations; were external (indirect) hernias are formed outside the epigastric vessels, passes the spermatic cord where a patent peritoneovaginal canal exist, direct hernia develops between the umbilical artery and the
24
epigastric vessels. Femoral hernias are encountered below the inguinal ligament, between the vessels and the ligament of Gumbert while the very rare the internal oblique hernias may present between the posterior face of the rectus abdominis muscle and the umbilical artery.
The superficial inguinal ring (Anulus inguinalis superficialis): Oval in shape. Length; 2-3 cm. Width; 1-2 cm. Is formed by the 2 crura of the external oblique aponeurosis; medial crus attached to pubis symphysis and lateral attached to the pubic tubercle. Sometimes there is third crus (Colles) lig. Reflexum passing to the contralateral external abdominal oblique aponeurosis. Surgical significance of the superficial inguinal ring: Palpation of the inguinal in order to detect its type; direct or indirect.
1.The patient must be in standing position while the examiner is sitting to the side of the patient.
2.Using your fingertip, take a fold of the scrotal skin down to the superficial inguinal ring just lateral to the pubic tubercle, with the left hand on the left side of the patient and vice-versa.
3.The patient is asked to cough in order to increase the intraabdominal pressure and induce hernia protrusion. A. If the bulge hits the tip of the finger, it is indirect hernia, protruding through the deep inguinal ring due to a persistence process vaginalis, may extent to the base of the scrotum. B. While if it hits the finger side, so it is direct hernia protruding medial to the inguinal ring due to a weakness in the fascia transversalis, rarely extends to the scrotum. C. In femoral hernia, the bulge hits the fingertip, but the pubic tubercle is felt above the hernial sac.

Two ligaments reinforce the transversalis fascia; the ligament of Hesselbach (the interfoveolar ligament) and the ligament of Henle, where the former is curved at the inferior border of the deep inguinal ring. Medially, it begins from the arc of Douglas, passes under the deep inguinal ring and ascends laterally to be vanished in the deep face of the transverse muscle toward the anterior superior iliac spine. Transverse muscle contraction stretches the Hesselbach’s ligament resulting in narrowing of the deep inguinal ring resisting the herniation of visceral organs. While the latter is composed of fibers, which leave the external border of the rectus abdominis muscle and cover the internal part of the inguinal ligament. Inferiorly, it is continuing with the ligament of Gumbert
The deep inguinal ring (anulus inguinalis profundus):
It is situated 1-1.5 cm superior to the medial part of the inguinal ligament. It is not a real opening but it is a protrusion of fascia transversalis in the inguinal canal created during testicular descend from the posterior abdominal wall downwards the scrotum during embryogenesis. This protrusion extends to become fascia spermatica interna which envelopes ductus deferens and all other elements of the future spermatic cord reaching the scrotum in males and the round ligament of the uterus in females. It corresponds to the lateral inguinal fossa (in the peritoneal cavity) and the medial to the initial part of the inferior epigastric artery.
CONTETNTS OF THE INGUINAL CANAL:
1.Ilioinguinal nerve:
Sensory innervation of the genitalia. Doesn't pass through the hole length of the inguinal canal, as it exits the canal before passing through the deep inguinal ring.
2. Genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve: Supplies the cremasteric muscle and scrotal skin in males, the round ligament the skin of the mons pubis and labia majora in females. Pass through the hole length of the inguinal canal and pass through the deep inguinal ring.
3.Spermatic cord in males or round ligament in females. Coverings:

The round ligament:
Within the inguinal canal the round ligament of the uterus is covered by a fascial membrane which extends from the fascia transversalis. After leaving the inguinal canal, the round ligament becomes attached to the labia majora and to the pubis. Like spermatic cord in males, the round ligament pierces the processes vaginalis, which if left patent will lead to the formation of a congenital hernia formation; Hernia of the canal of Nuck (Nuck’s canal, canalis Nucku).

The arterial supply of the superficial layer of the groin is by the superficial iliac circumflex vessels and the superficial epigastric vessels; while for the deep layers is through the deep circumflex iliac artery, the epigastric artery and its branches, obturatriceepigastric anastomoses connected to the descending branch of the epigastric artery. Venous drainage is by veins in the subcutaneous adipose tissue which are drained by join the saphenous vein inferiorly. The lymphatic drainage is by inguinal lymph nodes. The external pudendal arteries emerging from the femoral artery supplies the femoral region, which is drained by inferior epigastric vein which in turn is drained by the femoral vein.
