17.5 Floor of the Channel: the Inguinal Ligament
The inguinal ligament is one of the key elements from the myopectineal orifice of Fruchaud. As a strong structure, it divides the orifice in two parts of frailty: the inguinal region and the fem­oral region. Made of the reinforcement of the inferior edge of the external oblique aponeuro­sis, it also represents the floor of the inguinal channel.
For anatomists, the “independance”& “consti­tution” of the inguinal ligament is for a long time a subject of debate. In a paper from a decade, Aclad R. [2] summarized all the conceptions about that ligament that have been proposed by anatomists (Table 17.1).
Streched between the anterior superior iliac spine and public tubercle, its inferior part is gen­erally considered neither totally free nor alone but stretched in connection with the transversalis fas­cia and also to the femoral sheath by Thomson’s band. The existence of Thomson’s band or ilio­pubic tract is another subject of debate but it can be described as a fibrous structure running from the pubic tubercle to the iliac fascia and in con­nection both with conjoint tendon and femoral sheath. Thomson’s band is seen as transversalis fascia reinforcement [10].

Those anatomical debates might be considered useless by surgeons in practice but one anatomical point has to be known about vascular proximal elements of the inguinal ligament. About 4 to 5 cm lateral to the pubic tubercle and just beneath the inguinal ligament (& Thomson’s band) lays the external iliac vein. It can be very easily injury by an “unfair” stitching like in many groin hernia procedures were the roof of the inguinal canal is used as an inferior point of anchor.
17.6 Front Wall of the Inguinal
Canal: External Oblique Aponeurosis
As we described before the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle is the most superficial structure (after the superficial fascia) of the abdom­inal wall at the myopectineal orifice. As the lid of Fruchaud’s myopectineal orifice, the external oblique aponeurosis also covers the inguinal canal. This layers contains the superficial inguinal ring (see before) which is the exit of the inguinal canal.
17.7 Back wall of the Inguinal
Canal: Transversalis Fascia
However transversalis fascia is known due to its presence and role of shutter of the myopectinral orifice, it’s a structure extended from the lumbar
region to the spermatic cord (or round ligament of the uterus).
Outside the inguinal region it’s only a thin membrane but reaching this area it is much more thicker and reinforced by some ligaments.
Medially the transversalis fascia ends as lining the posterior surface of the rectus muscle. In about half cases the fibers of the rectus muscle extends laterally to the pubic tubercle in a rein­forcement known as Henle’s ligament.
At its lower part it is connected to the Thomson’s band that has been described before.
Anteriorly to the fascia lays the epigastric ves­sels and behind them, dividing the transversalis fascia in a medial reinforcement stands the Hesselbach’s ligament. Please note that the liga­ment also delimitates the Hesselbach’s triangle which other limits are lateral border and sheath of the rectus muscle and inguinal ligament. It is the place of direct inguinal hernias.
Laterally the fascia is inserted at the iliac fascia.
From the inferior margin of the transverse mus­cle to the pectineal ligament the transversalis fas­cia is the only structure supporting abdominal pressure and supposed to contain it. The larger is this area, due to the anatomic variations previously described, and the weaker the transversalis fascia is; the more easily a hernia can occur in those regions. For this reason, reinforcement of the transversalis is the CenterPoint of many hernia repair techniques either using sutures or meshes.
The Peritoneum and the 3 inguinal depressions
Even if the peritoneum is not a topic of anatomic specific interest in the inguinal region; since the development of the TAP laparoscopic repair the peritoneum has become of surgical anatomy interest.
Looking from inside the abdomen, the peritoneum is subtended by fibro vascular structures
forming 3 depressions: supra vesical, medial inguinal fossa and lateral inguinal fossa.
Lateral to the epigastric vessels stands lateral inguinal fossa. It is the place for indirect hernia
outlet.
Between the epigastric vessels and the medial umbilical fold (umbilical artery) the area is
named middle inguinal fossa. It is the place for direct hernia outlet.
Medial to the medial umbilical fold and lateral to the median umbilical fold (remnant of the
urachus) stands the supra vesical fossa. Even if hernia sliding at this point is possible this occurrence is very poor? Nevertheless several cases reports of bowel obstruction related to this type of hernia have been published (Fig. 17.11) [11].

17.8 Spermatic Cord and Vascular Issues
Looking at the cord it is difficult to imagine how complex is its constitution as it looks like a sim­ple and single structure.
Indeed, the components of the cord are wrapped in three different layers. The superficial one is the external spermatic fascia which comes from the external oblique muscle aponeurosis. The second layer is the spermatic fascia formed by fibers and aponeurosis of the internal oblique and transverse muscle. Deeper lays the internal spermatic fascia considered as an extension of the transversalis fascia.
The cord contains itself two nerves: the geni­tal branch of the genito femoral nerve (L1,L2) innerving the cremaster muscle and testicular nerves owning to the sympathetic system (T10­L2). But the cord shares the inguinal canal with another nerve running on it: the ilio-inguinal nerve (L1). The “hot topic” of inguinal nerves and their surgical “implication is treated below.
But the cord is also composed of vascular structures; three arteries and three veins.
Testicular artery as a branch of the aorta aris­ing just below the renal arteries supplies blood to the epidydimis, tunica albuginea and testis.
The artery of the ductus deferens as a branch of the superior of inferior vesical artery supplies blood to the testis and epididymis
The cremasteric artery coming from the infe­rior epigastric artery, supplies the cremaster.
Fortunately (for the surgeon) anastomosis exists between those arteries allowing blood sup­ply even in case of their respective division. It is estimated that ischemic testicular atrophy occurs in only about 1% of cases. But due to the vari­ability of those artery anastomoses caution must be taken during dissection in order to avoid use­less arterial division that in case of unknown ana­tomic variation could lead to ischemia.
As some blood supply to the testis is also coming from the scrotal artery, inferior vesical artery branches and prostatic artery it is advis­able not to pull out the testis in incidental cord division In order to let a chance to avoid testis atrophy thanks to those collateral arteries that could be pulled off.
The venous system included in the cord is a complex network composed by numerous veins of the testis and epididymis. Ascending in front of the cord, the multiple veins composing the Pampiniform venous plexus join themselves in three or four veins along the inguinal canal. Then going on these anastomotic process they stay

In women, the round ligament attached to the side of the uterus lays in the inguinal canal in place of the cord. Vascular issues are of course not the same and it can be divided without consequences.
17.9 The Nerves of the Inguinal
10 to 54% (!!) of patients operated on for ingui­nal hernia present chronic inguinal pain [1213]. The median accepted rate is around 10%.
This high rate, reported in the literature even if unbelievable for each surgeon must lead to develop every prevention measure. Even if the
Region: Turning Enemies to Friends
cause of chronic pain is not unique nerve injury is well recognized as one of the major and prevent­able cause.
In order to prevent chronic pain hernia surgery
guidelines [
14] recommend to systematically
identify the 3 nerves running the inguinal area dur­ing groin hernia surgery. Therefore knowing where to find them makes surgery easier (and safer).
The llio hypogastric nerve (T12-L1) crosses the transverse muscle and after divides in two branches. Its lateral cutaneous branch pierces the external oblique aponeurosis close to the anterior superior iliac spine. It innervates the skin of the abdominal wall around the pubis. This branch is more in dan­ger in orthopedic surgery in case of bone from the iliac crest retrieval than in hernia surgery.
Its anterior cutaneous branch goes anteriorly after division and the crosses internal oblique and external oblique aponeurosis above the superfi­cial inguinal ring to innerve hypogastric region.

J. Loriau
It is one of the three nerves involved during groin hernia surgery.
Ilio inguinal nerve (L1) innervates the internal oblique muscle, crosses it and then lays on the ingui­nal canal on the side of the cord. It is not an element of the cord as it is not included inside its different fascia layers but stands outside. As it emerges from the internal oblique muscle it can enter at a variable place the inguinal canal. That is to say that it can’t be normally found at the internal inguinal ring. It ends at the superficial inguinal ring and distributes fibers to innervate root of the penis, scrotum, skin of the upper and medial part of the thigh
These two first nerves do have connections
Genital branch of genito femoral nerve (L1­L2) can be found all along the inguinal canal as it pierces the transversalis fascia to enter the deep anal ring and follow to the cord in the canal to the scrotum supplying fibers to the skin of the scro­tum, the cremaster and dartos muscle. He is responsible for the cremasteric reflex.
Subcostal nerve (T12) emerges through the transversus abdominis passing between it and the internal oblique. It then enters the rectus sheath and becomes superficial halfway between the pubic symphysis and the umbilicus.
The lateral cutaneous branch of the subcostal nerve courses runs between the internal oblique and the external oblique muscles , and emergies
superficial superior to the iliac crest. It innervates the skin and the subcutaneous tissue of the gluteal region and also the lateral side of the thigh, only as far as the greater trochanter of the femur though.
The subcostal nerve supplies the transversus abdominis, rectus abdominis, and the pyramida­lis, along with some fibers to the peritoneum. It can be damaged during orthopedic surgery involv­ing the iliac crest but also in case of trocart place­ment close to the superior anterior iliac crest.
Knowing these anatomical considerations is mandatory for every surgeon who’d like to experi­ence hernia surgery whatever an open or a laparo­scopic one. As written before, systematically identifying the three main nerves is recommended in open hernia surgery. But as there is a high vari­ability of the nerves situation it is difficult and might be impossible to delimitate a “safe area” where nerve damage can be avoided for stapling a mesh during laparoscopic approach. The classical and historical “triangle of doom” delimitated by the vas deferens and the spermatic vessels even defining a zone of high vascular injury risk is not large enough to include the other potential nerve damage zones.
The only place where fixation could avoid nerve damage is the Cooper ligament but one must keep in mind that small anastomotic arteries like the anastomotic pubic branch might take place in this area (Fig. 17.13).

Surgical Take home message about the anatomy of Inguinal Region
– It is the upper part of the myopectineal orifice of Fruchaud – The wider is the myopectineal orifice, the more the fascia transversalis is left “alone” to
contain abdominal pressure
– Considering the inguinal canal; its borders entry and exit in a 3D approach and as a volume
in space is the key for understanding both physiopathology and surgery principles
– In open surgery it is recommended to know and systematically identify the 3 nerves of the inguinal
region during the procedures that are: illio hypogastric, illio inguinal, genital branch of genito femo­ral nerve.
– In laparoscopic approach high variability of nerve situation leads to recommend minimal mesh
fixation and maybe, if needed, limited to the Cooper ligament. – The Retropubic area – Any hernia surgeon,wether he (she) is or not a laparoscopist couldn’t ignore what’s beyond
the transversalis fascia! – Once that fascia is opened from an anterior approach or the peritoneum reclined from a
laparoscopic approach, we enter a space of fatty tissues in connection with the retropubic
Retzius space. – Let’s remember that in its description of the space he gave his name AJ. Bosgros mentioned
the existence of an important venous system involving inferior epigastric vein, iliopubic
vein, rectusial vein, retropubic vein, communicating rectusio epigastric vein.
Due to that venous network avoiding hazardous digital exploration or blind mesh stiching in
that area might be wise… (Fig. 17.14)

17.10 Inguinal Canal: Some
Notions of Embryology
(Fig. 17.15)
The migration of the testis from the lumbar area to the future scrotum begins around the 12th week of gestation.
This migration is a result of the action of gumernaculum testis and hormonal influences. Gimbernaculum testis raise up from the low gim­bernaculum (future scrotum) after the involution of the mesonephros abouth the 7th week and cra­nialy is inserted at the testis itself.
During that time (from the 7th to the 12th week), peritoneum evaginates downward later­ally to the gimbernaculum creating the vaginal process and accompanying the testis migration through the inguinal canal.
Fibers from the different layers of muscles from the inguinal region are also involved in that process and this will lead to the formation of the
different layers wrapping the cord. (see upper.). Vas deferens and vessels are also pulled through the canal during the same process.
At the 8th month the testis is located around the superficial inguinal ring and moves to the scrotum at our close to the birth.
After birth the vaginal process closes progres­sively from its medial part to the extremities forming rings (Ramonede’s rings) and dilatations that will involve. At the top the peritoneal extrem­ity will close and give the lateral inguinal fossa. If not it is one of the way of hernia constitution. At the lower extremity the canal wrappes the tes­tis and becomes the tunica vaginalis testis.
In female there is also a peritoneal migration forming the canal of Nuck that ends in the major labia. After birth like in male the canal closes with the same process. Persistence of the canal leads to inguinal hernia but as unattended ovarian migra­tion in the canal can occur division of it specially in young women must be done with caution.

18.1 Denition
Even the ambulatory surgery terminology shows some differences internationally. In many countries, the term ambulatory surgery means the following:
The patient spends the night before and after the operation at home.
In the English-speaking world, the term usu­ally has a broader meaning and often comprises postoperative care for up to 24h. The following terms and synonyms are used (Table18.1):
Table 18.1 Ambulatory surgery terminology [1]
Terminology Synonym and denition
Day surgery Ambulatory surgery, same-day
Extended recovery Short-stay surgery Outpatient <24h in hospital Inpatient >24h in hospital
surgery, day case surgery, outpatient surgery 23h, overnight stay, single night
24–72h in hospital
18.2 History
Ambulatory surgery is much older than surgery performed in hospitals. As far back as antiquity, there were numerous accounts of operations per­formed on outpatients. In the Middle Ages, the so­called rupture cutters always plied their trade on an ambulant basis, often in the marketplace. Since the late nineteenth century, operations have also been performed in hospitals because of improved asepsis and the development of anaesthesia [2]. The rst outpatient surgery centre was founded in Phoenix, Arizona in 1970 [2]. In 2011, the num­ber of outpatient surgery centres in the USA was 5174, nearly attaining the number of hospitals [3].
The rst publication about the advantages of outpatient inguinal hernia surgery with faster mobilisation, high patient satisfaction and lower costs appeared in 1955 [4].

Thanks to medical progress, most hernia opera­tions today can be performed as outpatient proce­dures. This is due especially to:

– New and less traumatic surgical
procedures – Better anaesthesia methods – Better pain medications for intra- and
postoperative treatment – Fast-track surgery with faster convales-
cence and earlier increased loading
Outpatient inguinal hernia operations are regarded as safe today. There were no deaths after outpatient inguinal hernia operations, and the rate of readmission to hospital after outpa­tient operations is also very low [57].
There are numerous studies that recommend out­patient inguinal hernia operations without restric­tion even over the age of 65years [813]. Obesity too is not an obstacle to outpatient surgery [14]. Ambulatory inguinal hernia operations can be per­formed even in the presence of comorbidities [8].
The advantages of performing inguinal hernia surgery under local anaesthesia are reported repeatedly [10, 14, 15]. The use of local anaesthe­sia has the advantage of the fastest recovery post­operatively. Lack of urinary retention was probably related to the small IV infusion volumes [15].
Numerous studies conrm that endoscopic inguinal hernia operations can be performed as outpatient surgery in most unselected cases [1618]. Logistic regression analyses show that “age”, “bilateral procedures” and “comorbidities” affect the complication rate. “Age” and “recurrent inguinal hernia” are risk factors for an increased need for analgesic medication. Furthermore, we present an actual distribution of day case vs. inpa­tient surgeries in inguinal hernia repair based on data from the Herniamed registry [19].
R. Lorenz
The European Hernia Society guidelines, rst published in 2009, recommend outpatient ingui­nal hernia surgery, regardless of method, in all patients with ASA classication I and II [20]. In the update of the European guidelines published in 2014, this even applies for many patients with ASA class III [21]. In the more recent HerniaSurge guidelines, too, this is recommended for the majority of inguinal hernias if appropriate home care is ensured (Fig.18.1).
Key Question 9.a: Which inguinal hernias
can be safely repaired in day surgery?
More recent studies point to further possibili­ties for additionally improving the outcome of outpatient surgery. These include, for example, intraoperative noise reduction to reduce surgical site infections (SSI) [23] and the use of a TAP block with local anaesthesia to reduce postopera­tive pain [24].
18.4 International Comparison
Outpatient inguinal hernia surgery has become increasingly popular internationally in recent decades [25, 26]. In many European countries, there has been a steady rise in the proportion of outpatient inguinal surgery operations [27]. The cost savings are regarded as a crucial advantage of day surgery [28].
In a global comparison, however, there are still considerable differences in the proportion of inguinal hernia operations performed as day sur­gery (Fig.18.2).
