Milestones in Hernia Surgery

Introduction
Hernia is dened as an abnormal protrusion of viscus through normal openings in the body. Hernia is a quite common problem of today’s civilization. It was very commonly known condition in ancient times too. Before going to the vast intricate details of the hernia and its surgery we will take a brief look at the milestones of hernia surgery. How near perfect surgery has evolved in these recent years and the creditors of this surgery is worth noticing.
1. First record of hernia condition: 1500 BC By Greeks.
2. First surgery of inguinal hernia: First century AD by Celsus involved excision of sac, testis, chord.
3. Paul of Aegina in 700 AD: Complete ligature of sac and cord at external ring (Fig. 1.1).
4. Guy de Chauliac in 1363 dierentiated inguinal and femoral hernia.
5. Franco in 1556 described technique to repair the strangulated hernia to avoid injury to bowel (Fig. 1.2).
6. Casper Stromayr 1559 distinguished between direct and indirect hernia.
7. Early 19th century correct description of inguinal anatomy.
8. Dawn of modern surgery by Joseph Lister 1865 in relation with antiseptic use in surgery (Fig. 1.3).

At a Glance
Theodor Billroth (1878) envisaged prostheses before Bassini’s sutured cure (1887) (Fig. 1.7). Phelps (1894) reinforced with silver coils. Metals were replaced by plastic (Aquaviva 1944). Polypropylene (Usher 1962), resisting infection, became popular. Usher instituted tensionless, overlapping preperitoneal repair. Spermatic cord was parietalized, to obviate keyholing. Stoppa (1969) championed the sutureless Cheatle-Henry approach encasing the peritoneum. His technique, “La grande prosthese de renforcement du sac visceral” (GPRVS), was adopted by laparoscopists. Newman (1980) and Lichtenstein (1986) pioneered subaponeurotic positioning. Kelly (1898) inserted a plug into the femoral canal; Lichtenstein and Shore (1974) followed. Gilbert (1987) plugged the internal ring, and Robbins and Rutkow (1993) treated all groin herniae thus. Incisional herniation has been controlled by prefascial, retrorectus prosthetic placement (Rives-Flament 1973). ePTFE (Sher et al. 1980) is useful intraperitoneally, since it evokes few adhesions. Here, laparoscopy (Ger 1982) is competitive. Beginning in 1964 (Wirtschafter and Bentley) experimental and clinical studies have shown herniation may be associated with aging and genetic or acquired (smoking, etc.) systemic disease of connective tissue. ese data, with prospective trials, all but mandate tensionless prosthetic repair.

History of the Procedure
Hippocrates used the Greek hernios for bud or bulge to describe abdominal hernias. Statues of the era portray this condition. e Ebers papyrus, from approximately 1550 BCE, detailed the use of a truss. Celsius used transillumination to differentiate a hernia from a hydrocele and advocated gradual pressure (taxis) in the management of incarcerated hernia. e earliest recorded surgical efforts were to reduce the hernia through a scrotal incision, to remove the sac and the testis, and to close the area with sutures that spontaneously extruded. As the church forbade physicians from surgical procedures, nonphysicians (barbers) began developing therapy for surgical problems. De Chauliac advocated escharotics with gradual cicatrization accompanied by prolonged bed rest as the solution for inguinal hernias. Parë followed the operation of Gerald of Metz using a cerclage wire of gold to retard further intestinal protrusion into the scrotum.

In 1700, Littre reported an omphalomesenteric duct trapped in a hernia. Richter described an incarcerated but nonobstructing hernia in 1785. Hunter, in 1756, detailed the embryological origin of the indirect inguinal hernia. De Gimbernat advocated cutting the ligament that is eponymically associated with him in management of incarcerated femoral hernia. Teale reported the rst prevascular femoral hernia in 1846. Other eponyms associated with inguinal hernias relate to anatomical descriptions by Camper (fascia) (1801), Cooper (ligament) (1804), Cloquet (hernia) (1817), Grynfeltt (hernia) (1866), Hesselbach (triangle) (1814), Laugier (hernia) (1833), Nuck (canal) (1650-1692), Petit (hernia) (1783), and Scarpa (fascia) (1814). Scarpa also
previously described a sliding hernia and a Spiegelian hernia in 1645. e advent of antisepsis by Lister in 1865 paved the way for a more precise surgical approach to hernia. Finally, physicians could expect success of an operation not being disrupted by infection. In 1871, Marcy felt that closure of the fascia adjacent to the internal ring would provide a reliable repair of the inguinal hernia. Over a decade later, Bassini (1884) formulated an approach to hernia repair that remains the foundation of the modern hernia repair, namely, reconstruction of the oor of the inguinal canal. In the last century, Cheatle used a properitoneal approach in 1920, while McVay (1948) made popular the use of Cooper’s iliopectineal ligament in repair.

Surgical Anatomy of Hernia Sites
“e anatomy of the inguinal region is misunderstood by surgeons of all levels of seniority.” Robert E Condon, MD.
Success of hernia repair is measured primarily by the permanence of the operation, fewest complications, minimal costs, and earliest return to normal activities. is success depends largely on the surgeon’s understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the surgical area as well as a knowledge of how to use most eectively the currently available techniques and materials. e surgeon who seeks to make a success of hernia repairs should fully understand the anatomical variations
in the hernia site. Today it is mandatory for the surgeon to individualize the surgery according to the anatomy encountered.
Anatomy of the Abdomen and Groin
Much of what we know about the anatomy of the abdomen and groin comes from the work of the early anatomists and surgeons. A thorough understanding of these and later anatomical “discoveries” is essential to successful hernia repair (Table 2.1).

External Anatomy of Abdominal Wall—The Surface Markings
Anterior Abdominal Wall Anatomy
e anatomical layers of the abdominal wall include skin, subcutaneous tissue, superficial fascia, deep fascia, muscle, extraperitoneal fascia, and peritoneum. This anatomy may vary with respect to the different topographic regions of the abdomen. e major source of structural integrity and strength of the abdominal wall is provided by the musculofascial layer. The main paired abdominal muscles include the external oblique muscles, internal oblique muscles, transversus abdominis muscles, and rectus abdominis muscles and their respective aponeuroses, which are interdigitated with each other, and provide core strength and protection to the abdominal wall viscera. The integrity of the abdominal wall is essential not only to protect the visceral structures but also to stabilize the trunk and to aid trunk movement and posture.

e abdomen can be divided into quadrants or nine abdominal regions (Fig. 2.3). e midline in the sagittal plane is the linea alba. e lateral edge of the rectus sheath is the linea semilunaris. e lower costal margin, the iliac crest and pubic tubercle can be palpated.

contained parts, the abdomen is divided into nine regions, by imaginary planes, two horizontal and two sagittal, the edges of the planes being indicated by lines drawn on the surface of the body. In the older method the upper, or subcostal, horizontal line encircles the body at the level of the lowest points of the tenth costal cartilages; the lower, or intertubercular, is a line carried through the highest points of the iliac crests seen from the front, i. e. through the tubercles on the iliac crests about 5 cm behind the anterosuperior spines. An alternative method is that of Addison, who adopts the following lines: (1) An upper transverse, the transpyloric, halfway between the jugular notch and the upper border of the symphysis pubis; this indicates the margin of the transpyloric plane, which in most cases cuts through the pylorus, the tips of the ninth costal cartilages and the lower border of the rst lumbar vertebra; (2) a lower transverse line midway between the upper transverse and the upper border of the symphysis pubis; this is termed the transtubercular, since it practically corresponds to
that passing through the iliac tubercles; behind, its plane cuts the body of the fth lumbar vertebra. By means of these horizontal planes the abdomen is divided into three zones named from above, the subcostal, umbilical, and hypogastric zones. Each of these is further subdivided into three regions by the two sagittal planes, which are indicated on the surface by a right and a left lateral line drawn vertically through points halfway between the anterosuperior iliac spines and the middle line. e middle region of the upper zone is called the epigastric, and the two lateral regions the right and left hypochondriac. e central region of the middle zone is the umbilical, and the two lateral regions the right and left lumbar. e middle region of the lower zone is the hypogastric or pubic, and the lateral are the right and left iliac or inguinal. e middle regions, viz., epigastric, umbilical, and pubic, can each be divided into right and left portions by the middle line. In the following description of the viscera the regions marked out by Addison’s lines are those referred to.
The Fascia
Fig. 2.3: Abdomen can be divided into quadrants
or nine abdominal regions
Below the skin the supercial fascia is divided into a supercial fatty layer, Camper’s fascia, and a deeper brous layer, Scarpa’s fascia. e deep fascia lies on the abdominal muscles. Inferiorly Scarpa’s fascia blends with the deep fascia of the thigh. is arrangement forms a plane between Scarpa’s fascia and the deep abdominal fascia extending from the top of the thigh to the upper abdomen (Figs 2.4A and B). Below the innermost layer of muscle, the transversus abdominis muscle, lies the transversalis fascia. e transversalis fascia is separated from the parietal peritoneum by a variable layer of fat, subcutaneous tissue.
Supercial Fascia
e supercial fascia of the abdominal wall is divided into a supercial and a deep layer. It may be as thin as half an inch or less or as thick as 6 inches or more. Above the umbilicus, the supercial fascia consists of a single layer. Below the umbilicus, the fascia divides into two layers: the Camper fascia (a supercial fatty layer) and the Scarpa fascia (a deep membranous layer). e supercial epigastric neurovascular bundle is located between these two layers. e abdominal subcutaneous fat, which is separated by the Scarpa fascia, is highly variable in thickness.

Deep Fascia
e deep fascia is a thin, tough layer that surrounds and is adherent to the underlying abdominal muscles. Each abdominal muscle has an aponeurotic component that contributes to the deep fascia. e individual abdominal muscles are described below:
Subserous and Peritoneal Fascia
The subserous fascia is also known as extraperitoneal fascia and serves to bond the peritoneum to the deep fascia of the abdominal wall or to the outer lining of the gastrointestinal tract. It may receive different names depending on its location (i.e. transversalis fascia when it is deep to that muscle, psoas fascia when it is next to that muscle, iliac fascia, and so on). The peritoneum is a thin (one cell thick) membrane that lines the abdominal cavity. It is useful in reconstructive efforts because it provides a layer between the bowel and mesh.
Rectus Abdominis and Rectus Sheath
e rectus muscle extends from the xiphoid process of the sternum and 5, 6, 7th costal cartilages to the pubic symphysis and pubic crest. e muscle is enclosed within the rectus sheath formed by the aponeuroses of the lateral abdominal muscles (Fig. 2.5). Along the length of this strap muscle there are three brous intersections separating the muscle into four segments. e brous intersections are attached to the anterior surface of the rectus sheath, but not to the posterior surface. is allows the superior and inferior epigastric vessels to pass along the posterior surface of the muscle without encountering a barrier. The most important feature from the surgical perspective is that the bers of the rectus sheath run from side-to-side. Vertical incisions divide bers while horizontal incisions down closure with sutures encircling bers rather that between bers (Fig. 2.6). e posterior rectus sheath has a similar trilaminar criss-cross pattern above the umbilicus, where it is
composed of the posterior lamina of the internal oblique and the aponeurosis of the transverses abdominis muscle from either side.
Lateral Muscles
e lateral muscles arise from the lower part of the rib cage, the lumbar fascia and the iliac crest. e external oblique muscle arises from the lower eight ribs. The fibers run downwards and forwards to form an aponeurosis anteriorly. The aponeurosis passes anteriorly to the rectus muscle to insert into the aponeurosis from the other side at the linea alba. Inferiorly the aponeurosis inserts into the anterosuperior iliac spine and stretches over to the pubic tubercle, forming the inguinal ligament. e internal oblique muscle arises from the lumbar fascia, the iliac crest and the lateral two-thirds of the inguinal ligament and runs upwards and forwards to form an aponeurosis. Above the arcuate line the aponeurosis splits to enclose the rectus muscle. Below the arcuate line the aponeurosis passes anterior to the rectus muscle. e inferior part of the aponeurosis inserts into the symphysis pubis. At this insertion the aponeurosis is fused with the aponeurosis of the transversus abdominis muscle to form the conjoint tendon. e transversus abdominis muscle arises from the lower six costal cartilages, the lumbar fascia and the iliac crest. e bers run forwards to form an aponeurosis. Superiorly the aponeurosis passes behind the rectus muscle. Below the arcuate line the aponeurosis passes anterior to the muscle. The inferior fibers of the aponeurosis are fused with those of the internal oblique to form the conjoint tendon.
Musculofascial Layer
e abdominal wall includes 5 paired muscles (3 at muscles, 2 vertical muscles). The 3 flat muscles are the external oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis. The 3-layered structure, combined with extensive aponeuroses, works in a synkinetic fashion not only to protect the abdominal viscera but also to increase abdominal pressure, which facilitates defecation, micturition, and parturition. e 2 vertical muscles are the rectus abdominis and pyramidalis. Fusion of the fascial layers of these muscles forms 3 distinct fascial lines: the linea alba and 2 semilunar lines. e linea alba is formed by the fusion of both rectus sheaths at the midline, while the semilunar lines are formed by

the union of the external oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis aponeuroses at the lateral border of the rectus abdominis muscle (Figs 2.8A to C).
External Oblique (Fig. 2.9)
e external oblique muscle is the largest and thickest of the at abdominal wall muscles. It originates from the lower 8 ribs, interlocks with slips of latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior, and courses inferior-medially, attaching via its aponeurosis centrally at the linea alba. Inferiorly, the external oblique aponeurosis folds back upon itself and forms the inguinal ligament between the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic tubercle. Medial to the pubic tubercle, the external oblique aponeurosis is attached to the pubic crest. Traveling superior to the medial part of the inguinal ligament, an opening in the aponeurosis forms the supercial inguinal ring. e innervation to the external oblique is derived from the lower 6 thoracic anterior primary rami and the rst and second lumbar anterior primary rami.
Internal Oblique (Figs 2.6 and 2.10)
e internal oblique muscle originates from the anterior portion of the iliac crest, lateral half to two-thirds of the inguinal ligament, and posterior aponeurosis of the
