16 The Most Important Clinical Trial intheLast 10 Years inInguinal andIncisional Hernia Surgery
155
for continuous midline abdominal closure into two allocation arms: standard long stitch closure with a half-circle needle with a 41mm diameter and a 1-0 PDS suture versus short stitch closure with a 20mm diameter and a 2-0 PDS suture. The study was patient- and assessor-blinded with fol­low-up at 1 and 12months [11].
The study outcomes were more benecial in
the short stitch group, as both SSI (10.2% vs.
5.2%) and incisional hernia at 1year (18.0% vs.
5.6%) were signicantly higher in the long stitch group. The authors suggested that closure with the large stitch promotes ischemia and SSI, as the suture embraces more remote tissue than just the aponeurosis. There are several reasons to explain the preventive effect of the small stitch closure on the rate of incisional hernia. SSI and early slackening of the suture due to a cutting effect on soft tissues are prevented, when the stitches are placed close to the edge of the apo­neurosis. Moreover, a higher number of applied stitches causes less tension on each suture and hence a reduced tendency toward tearing of the aponeurosis. Due to the large study, other risk factors for SSI (contamination and diabetes) and incisional hernia formation (male sex, BMI, operative time, SSI and suture-wound ratio<4) could be identied in multivariable models. Interestingly, these benecial effects were not offset by a longer operative time in the short stitch allocation arm.
The study by Israelsson and coworkers has several merits. It is a prominent example of extremely relevant clinical research for a large group of patients introducing a relatively simple and inexpensive surgical technique. The study group was able to monitor the study closely, as it exclusively took place in their own department through years of dedicated inclusion of patients to obtain sufcient study power. Opponents of the small stitch– small bites technique have claimed that the results had not proven reproducible in a general surgical setting. However, a recent large randomized Dutch multicentre study (the STITCH trial) came to a similar conclusionas reported in the Swedish study 6years earlier asconcerns the preventive effect on the development of incisional hernia. The Dutch study elegantly demonstrated
the external validity of Israelsson and coworkers’ main nding [12].
Development of incisional hernia is associated with morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, repeated surgery, and increased costs. The simple and inexpensive abdominal closure technique for midline laparotomies as originally proposed by Dr. Israelsson should now be considered gold standard with enormous signicance for the operating results of the surgical patients in general.
The studies from the groups of Löfgren and Israelsson pose a unique potential to inspire the surgical community to work together and con­duct multicentre evaluation of relevant research questions in a randomized manner. Sadly, the abundance of such questions is presently not answered by high-level evidence.

As Fruchaud proposed in 1956 [1] (cf. anatomy of the femoral region), we should consider both femoral and inguinal regions as a unique entity: the Myopectineal orifice.
In his conception, widely shared since his description, there are in the area between: the pelvic bone and its surrounding ligaments, the superficial and the deep layer of the abdominal wall muscles

forming the conjoint tendon, the psoas muscle and the rectus muscle two zones of potential weakness. The lower one is the femoral region. The upper one is the inguinal region. Those two zones are separated by the inguinal ligament. This approach by Fruchaud is based on the fact that physiopathology of hernia formation in those areas is commonly based on the weakness of the fascia transversalis (Fig. 17.1).

Books of anatomy looks sometimes diffi-
cult to appropriate as they display many
informations, historical names or nick-
names. Their drawings can be beloved for
their artistic appearance or hated because
of looking old-fashioned.
Nevertheless it is totally impossible to forget anatomic considerations in a textbook about abdominal wall surgery. If we should give only one reason for that I would say that knowing anatomy is one of the best ways to avoid dramatic complications!
Therefore, our purpose will be to high­light the “surgical anatomy” of the inguinal region and give cartography of the points of wreck!

17.1 The Myopectineal Orifice of Fruchaud and the Inguinal Region: Three Muscular Layers Concurring to Weakness (Fig. 17.2)
Although present in the inguinal region, the large muscles of the abdominal wall fail in building a strength rampart to hernia formation.
The external oblique is the most superficial
and present just under the skin, fat tissues and superficial fascia.
Indeed the superficial fascia is the first layer the surgeon will cross approaching the inguinal region. This superficial fascia has been described as comporting itself two layers. One more areolar is called Scamper’s fascia and one more fibrous and deep called Scarpa’s fascia. Both are contin­ued down into the genital organs (penis or labia major). Superficial fascia is easily identified dur­ing surgery but it’s more uncommon to distin­guish its two layers.

The external oblique of the abdomen consists only in an aponeurosis at that level. Its fibers, directed downward and medially towards the midline constitute a strong membrane. Despite this strength, it cannot contribute to avoid hernia formation. First because it is too superficial and contains a whole as a result of its fibers split from each other: the superficial inguinal ring; the exit of the inguinal canal. In case of oblique hernias the superficial inguinal ring, as a whole, cannot play any role in stopping the hernia sac during its outward movement. Second because in case of direct hernias it is also too superficial and can only overhang the hernia. Third because the external oblique fascia ends caudally constituting the inguinal ligament which is the “ground” of the inguinal canal. Inguinal ligament divides in two parts (inguinal and femoral) the myopectin­eal orifice of Fruchaud but doesn’t confer any additional opposition to inguinal hernia forma­tion (Fig. 17.3).
The internal oblique is the second layer. Its fibers run opposite to the one from the external
oblique upward and medially. It is a muscle of importance because its fibers joined with the ones from the transverse will constitute the “conjoint tendon”. The “tendon conjoint” is the ceiling of the inguinal canal. The role of the “conjoint tendon” in hernia occurrence is dis­cussed under but the internal oblique cannot be considered as an efficient rampart to hernia for­mation (Fig. 17.4).
The internal oblique also contains fibers that will downward with ones from the transverse muscle constitute the lateral cremaster muscle (see under). When present the medial fibers from the cremaster muscle come from the inguinal ligament.
Deeper lays the transverse muscle. In its lower part , its fibers runs horizontally from the iliac fascia, anterior-superior iliac spine and the lateral third or the inguinal ligament almost par­allel to the ones from the internal oblique and contributes to the formation of the conjoint ten­don. Some fibers also distribute fibers to the cre­master (Fig. 17.5).

Role of the conjoint tendon in hernia constitution
Born from the horizontal running fibers of both internal oblique and transverse muscle, the con­joint tendon runs horizontally and then vertically to the crest of the pubis and pectineal line. Therefore it was also called inguinal aponeurotic falx. The medial insertion of the conjoint tendon is variable and the variations have been described as possibly playing a role in hernia formation.
Since the tendon is the lowest musculo aponevrotic structure of the myopectineal orifice, all the space between itself and the pectineal ligament represents a weakness space only closed by the transversalis fascia. The more this space (including medially the “inguinal triangle” also called Hesselbach’s triangle and laterally the deep inguinal ring) is large due to high lying con­joint tendon, the more the surface receiving abdominal pressure without musculoaponevrotic reinforcement is large and subject to hernia formation.
Physiologic shutter mechanisms exist to deal with this anatomic weakness. In standing posi­tion the conjoint tendon is pulled up with the abdominal wall muscles and the potential orifice is open.
During coughing or straining, contraction of the fibers of the conjoint tendon pulls it downward in order to “close” the orifice and contain increased abdominal pressure. The same movement is also observed during squatting where the tendon covers the weak area. The Hesselbach’s ligament has also been described to play a role in the movement of closing the inguinal diaphragm.
But in case of an excessive surface due to a high or too external insertion of the conjoint ten­don all these movements can be too limited to provide an efficient coverage of the area. Therefore these anatomical predispositions (among others) can play a role in hernia formation (Fig. 17.6)

In summary the three different musculo aponevrotic layers doesn’t confer any solidity to the inguinal region of the Myopectineal orifice due to their respective positions. A high position of the conjoint tendon could enlarge the myopectineal orifice and facilitate hernia occurrence.

17.2 The Inguinal Canal (Fig. 17.7)
As it has to be understood as a 3D structure, the inguinal canal and its anatomy might be difficult to understand and/or teach to residents. We used to say that one thinks he understands its anatomy as medical students, he (she) believes at last he (she) understands as resident but nobody has really caught the reality before being a certified surgeon!
The easier approach is to consider it as a rect-
angular block (parallelepiped) which is a geo­metric structure known to anybody.
Describing such a way the canal 6 sides have to be
defined: one on each extremity which are the entrance and the exit of the channel, one ceiling and one bot­tom; one superficial and one deep face and the con­tent represented by the spermatic cord (Fig. 17.8).
17.3 Entrance to the Channel: the Deep Inguinal Ring
Deep anal ring is a whole inside the transversa­lis fascia allowing entrance to the spermatic cord into the channel. If we describe it as a square, its 4 for sides are anticlockwise from the top
(looking the right side in front of a patient): the conjoint tendon on top and anterior sides con­stituted by fibers from the internal oblique and transverse muscle, the inguinal ligament in the inferior side, the epigastric vessels medially. Along the epigastric vessels, the transversalis fascia is reinforced and called Hesselbach’s liga­ment or interfoveolar ligament. Keeping in mind that the internal limit of the internal ring is com­posed by the Hesselbach’s ligament but must of all by epigastric vessels might be useful for safe surgery… (Fig. 17.9)!
17.4 Exit to the Channel: the Superficial Inguinal Ring
Located above the pubic tubercle, the superficial ring is, as we described before, a near triangular whole within the lower part of the external oblique aponeurosis. It is made of its fibers split. Medial crura is inserted on the public crest, lat­eral crura runs to the public tubercle. The inferior side of the surficial ring triangle is made of the lowest fibers of the external oblique aponeurosis constituting the inguinal ligament (Fig. 17.10).
