FIGURE 11.12. Classification of retroperitoneal hematoma. Zone 1 hematoma is associated with pan­creaticoduodenal and vascular trauma and must always be explored. Zone 2 hematoma is associated with injury to the kidney and ascending colon and is explored selectively when either colon injury is suspected or the hematoma is expanding. Zone 3 hematoma is usually associated with pelvic fracture and is generally not opened. When low abdominal hematoma is not associated with pelvic fracture, the hematoma must be explored.
vascular control should be obtained by controlling the renal artery, or, if this is not possible, by obtaining aortic control below the diaphragm.
3. Zone 3 retroperitoneal hematomas are often associ­ated with pelvic fracture and, as a general rule, are not explored. If they are expanding, angiogram is performed to identify the site of bleeding and to obtain angiographic control of bleeding. Retroperitoneal hematomas not asso­ciated with pelvic fracture, as seen in penetrating trauma, however, are explored to exclude and, if present, repair major retroperitoneal vessel injury.

The primary clinical significance of the abdominal wall is herniation, which constitutes a typical surgical problem. Peritonitis and intraabdominal abscesses also require surgical intervention. While secondary malignancies are common, primary tumors of the peritoneum are rare. Dis­orders of the retroperitoneum are far less common.
ANATOMY AND EMBRYOLOGY
The abdominal wall consists of skin, subcutaneous fascia, and Scarpa’s fascia overlying the musculature. From super­ficial to deep, the muscular wall layers include the external oblique, the internal oblique, and the transversus. The muscles are fleshy laterally and become aponeurotic medi­ally, where the aponeurosis fuses before separating to the anterior and posterior fascia that invest the rectus muscles. The anterior and posterior rectus fascia fuse in the midline to form the linea alba (Figure 12.1). The transversus muscle ends at the semilunar line, where the transversalis fascia begins. The transversalis fascia extends down to the groin.
The innermost layer of the abdomen, the peritoneum, invests continuously all the abdominal viscera. In the male embryo, peritoneum may project as a sac through the processus vaginalis at the internal inguinal ring if, follow­ing testicular descent, the processus vaginalis fails to oblit­erate completely. An oval defect exists in the external oblique aponeurosis just above and lateral to the pubic tubercle—the external inguinal ring. The internal ring is a defect in the transversalis fascia about 1 inch above the midinguinal point, midway between the anterior superior iliac crest and the public tubercle. The oblique space extending from the internal ring superiorly and laterally, and to the external ring inferiorly and medially,constitutes the inguinal canal. The spermatic cord in men and the round ligament in women course through the inguinal canal, which is bounded anteriorly by the external oblique aponeurosis, superiorly by the internal oblique and trans-
12

and Retroperitoneum
versus abdominis aponeurosis, and inferiorly by the inguinal and lacunar ligaments. The transversalis fascia forms the floor (posterior wall) of the inguinal canal. Hernias commonly form because of weaknesses in the inguinal canal floor or in the femoral ring. The boundaries of the femoral ring are, anteriorly, the inguinal ligament; laterally, the femoral vein; posteriorly, the pectinius fascia, which condenses to create Cooper’s ligament; and medi­ally, the lacunar ligament, also known as Gimbernat’s lig­ament. The anatomy of inguinal hernia is summarized in Table 12.1.
INGUINAL OR GROIN HERNIAS
Three types of inguinal or groin hernia are common: the indirect inguinal hernia, the direct inguinal hernia and the femoral hernia. An indirect inguinal hernia is associated with a peritoneal sac that protrudes through the internal ring into the inguinal canal and lies anteromedial to the spermatic cord or round ligament. The sac and its contents, which may include omentum or small intestine, may protrude so extensively in men that they reach the scrotum (scrotal hernia). Direct inguinal hernias do not often have well-developed sacs. They are protru­sions through Hesselbach’s triangle as a result of weakness of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal. Femoral hernias occur when a segment of the peritoneum protrudes through the femoral ring. The sac is usually small and has a narrow neck, allowing only a small piece of omentum or part of the wall of the small intestine to herniate. The sites of the three main groin hernias are shown in Figure 12.2.
Pathogenesis
The development of a hernia requires an abdominal wall defect and an increase in abdominal pressure.
ABDOMINAL WALL

Defect in the Abdominal Wall
A key anomaly in indirect inguinal hernia is the presence of a hernial sac in the inguinal canal. The sac is a vestige of the processus vaginalis, a structure important in boys for descent of the testes from the retroperitoneum to the scrotum. It is likely, however, that an indirect hernial sac may develop de novo in the adult. With time, enlargement of an indirect inguinal hernia is associated with weakness of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal and thinning and bulging of the transversalis fascia.
In direct inguinal hernia, the primary abnormality is weakness of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal, leading to a bulge through Hesselbach’s triangle. Direct inguinal hernias typically occur in elderly men. The sac may not be prominent, although a well-developed sac may sometimes be encountered. Such sacs are rarely large enough to merit excision and may be managed by pushing

them into the abdomen and applying a few sutures to hold them in place.
Femoral hernia involves not only weakness of the pos­terior inguinal wall but also widening of the femoral ring. A hernial sac is formed as part of the peritoneum descends through the ring.
Increased Abdominal Pressure
Increased abdominal pressure is sometimes an acute pre­cipitating event. The construction worker who attempts to lift a heavy object and suddenly experiences tearing pain in the groin is an example. More commonly, however, increased abdominal pressure is caused by chronic cough, constipation, or straining to urinate as a result of prosta­tic hypertrophy. Occasionally, constipation may be associ­ated with development of colonic cancer.
Whenever possible, the condition of increased abdom­inal pressure should be improved or eliminated before herniorrhaphy. The correction of abdominal pressure is particularly important in prostatic hypertrophy, where prostatectomy (transurethral or otherwise) should be per­formed before hernia repair.
Progression of Disease
In the early stages, the hernia bulge develops intermittently, often associated with activities that generate sudden eleva­tion in intraabdominal pressure. The patient experiences a dull pain in the groin and can feel the bulge. The bulge may either reduce spontaneously or can easily be pushed back by the patient—the stage of reducible inguinal hernia. As

time passes, the herniation may become permanent, and the patient may be unable to reduce it—the stage of incarcerated (irreducible) inguinal hernia. An irreducible inguinal hernia may exist as a chronic abnormality without serious symptoms or complications. At times, an incarcer­ated inguinal hernia is associated with small bowel obstruc­tion within the hernia. In some cases, the blood supply of the herniated structures (omentum or bowel) may become compromised, causing an acute clinical problem—the stage of irreducible, strangulated hernia. The wall of a viscus may descend to form part of the hernial sac. This type of hernia is known as sliding hernia.
Bowel obstruction or strangulation is uncommon in direct inguinal hernia but much more common in indirect inguinal and femoral hernias, which have a narrow neck. The swelling in an irreducible femoral hernia is in the groin below the inguinal ligament, just lateral to the pubis and medial to the femoral vessels. When strangulation develops, the swelling becomes tender. Because the femoral ring is narrow, only a portion (usually the antime­senteric aspect) of the small intestine may become incar­cerated and, when strangulated, only part of the small intestine may become gangrenous. This type of hernia, called Richter’s hernia, presents with a tender groin lump below the inguinal ligament and is associated with small
bowel obstruction. The essentials of femoral hernia are summarized in Table 12.2.

FIGURE 12.3. Technique for administering local anesthesia in preparation for hernia repair. Effective local anesthesia can be provided by directing the local anesthetic to points A, B, C, and D to desensi­tize the iliohypogastric, the genitofemoral, the ilioinguinal, and hypogastric branches of the ilio­hypogastric nerves, respectively. (Adapted from Flanagan L, Bascom JU. Repair of the groin hernia: outpatient approach with local anesthesia. Surg Clin North Am, 1984;64:257–267.)
reserved only for patients who have other confounding medical problems. Anesthesia may be general, epidural (spinal), or local. Increasingly, hernia repair is being done either under epidural or local anesthesia with parenteral sedation (Figure 12.3).
NCISION The midpoint of the incision should be over
I
the internal ring, the surface marking for which is 0.5 inch above the midinguinal point. An oblique or transverse skin incision (6–8cm) is made and deepened to the external oblique aponeurosis after dividing Scarpa’s fascia and superficial veins.
PENING THE INGUINAL CANAL The external ring, a
O
defect superior and lateral to the pubic tubercle, is first identified. The genitofemoral nerve is seen issuing from it. The anterior wall of the inguinal canal is opened along the fibers of the external oblique aponeurosis, taking care to preserve the nerve. The spermatic cord is mobilized at the pubic tubercle, encircled, and then retracted using a .25­inch Penrose drain.
DENTIFYING THE HERNIA SAC An indirect hernia sac
I
is found on the anteromedial aspect of the spermatic cord. Its apex is picked with clamps and the sac is dissected prox­imally to the internal ring. Its neck lies lateral to the infe­rior epigastric vessels. A direct hernia sac, on the other hand, is found in Hesselbach’s triangle. The direct hernia
sac is usually not prominent but can be at times. When dis­sected proximally, its neck is found medial to the inferior epigastric vessels.
XCISION OR INVERSION OF THE HERNIAL SAC All indi-
E
rect hernia sacs are opened at their apex; any omental or bowel content is reduced into the abdomen. The neck of the sac is closed using suture ligature flush with the peri­toneum. The sac is then excised distal to the ligature. Most direct hernia sacs are inverted, but large sacs are excised.
Open Surgical Approaches to Hernia Repair
The major surgical approaches to inquinal hernia repair are summarized in Table 12.3.
ASSINI REPAIR The Bassini repair, introduced in
B
1890, is a simple and effective repair. The essential element is approximation of transversalis fascia and the internal oblique muscle to the inguinal ligament using interrupted sutures (Figure 12.4). Some believe that this procedure pre­disposes to future development of femoral hernia, although the evidence is anecdotal.
CVAY (COOPER LIGAMENT) REPAIR The McVay
M
repair has two important components: the repair itself and a relaxing incision. The repair is accomplished by approx-

imating the transversalis fascia to Cooper’s ligament (Figure 12.5). Interrupted nonabsorbable sutures, either
2.0 or 0, are used, beginning at the public tubercle and moving laterally. The first suture to the pubic tubercle is important because this is a frequent site of recurrence. A sturdy needle is used so that the fascial insertion and the periosteum of the pubis can be incorporated.
As approximation of the transversalis fascia to Cooper’s ligament proceeds laterally, the femoral vein is reached. At this point, a transition stitch is required incor­porating Cooper’s ligament, the femoral sheath covering the vein and the inguinal ligament. Lateral to this point, the transversalis fascia is approximated to the inguinal lig­ament. As the repair proceeds laterally, a new internal ring
is formed when the spermatic cord is reached. The new ring should be snug but should permit introduction of the small finger next to the cord to avoid compression of the spermatic veins and subsequent scrotal swelling.
The second step in the McVay repair is to perform a relaxing incision by vertical division of the anterior rectus sheath (Figure 12.5B).
HOULDICE REPAIR The Shouldice herniorrhaphy,
S
popularized in Canada, is a modified Bassini repair (Figure
12.6) and is typically performed under local anesthesia.
ENSION-FREE HERNIORRHAPHY OF LICHTENSTEIN
T
The major concept of this repair, performed under local anesthesia is to avoid tension at the suture line by the use of prosthetic mesh (Figure 12.7).
REPERITONEAL (CHEATLE–HENRY) REPAIR The pre-
P
peritoneal approach was not frequently used until the advent of laparoscopic herniorrhaphy. The preperitoneal repair, most often indicated in bilateral hernias in which bilateral herniorrhaphy is accomplished through a single incision, is also an excellent technique for repair of recur­rent inguinal hernia. A transverse skin incision is made about 3cm above the inguinal ligament, and transverse incisions are made in the rectus sheath, the external and internal obliques, and the transversus abdominus aponeu­rosis. The rectus muscle is retracted medially, the transver­salis fascia is incised, and the preperitoneal space is entered. With blunt dissection, the pelvic peritoneum is separated from the pelvic floor. Femoral and direct hernial sacs are easily visualized and reduced. An indirect hernia sac can also be dissected and excised using this approach.A McVay­type repair can then be performed from the back of the transversalis fascia.

COMPLICATIONS OF INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR Com-
plications specific to inguinal herniorrhaphy may occur early or late following the operation. Early local complica­tions include wound infection or hematoma (1% to 2%), scrotal and testicular swelling (7%), compression of the femoral vein (1%), and urinary retention (up to 30%). Scrotal swelling usually occurs when the internal ring is too tightly closed. Acute ischemic orchitis occurs when the spermatic cord or spermatic vessels are severed. Compres­sion of the femoral vein is most likely to occur after McVay (Cooper ligament) repair. The resulting complications may include femoral thrombophlebitis or even pulmonary embolism.
Late complications include hydrocele formation, tes­ticular atrophy, neuroma formation, nerve entrapment of the genitofemoral or ilioinguinal nerves, and recurrence. A late-developing hydrocele is usually due to incomplete excisions of the distal extension of the sac. Testicular atrophy occurs in fewer than 2% of cases and may repre­sent partial interruption of the blood supply during surgery or may follow early acute testicular swelling. Neural complications are most distressing and are not always successfully treated. Local anesthetic blocks directly in the region of the neuroma or nerve entrapment or blocks of L1 and L2 (genitofemoral nerve) are sometimes
used. Some surgeons have reported success after excising the entrapped nerve or after separating the genitofemoral nerve proximal to the entrapment.
Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Techniques
Several randomized clinical trials have shown that laparoscopic hernia repairs are safe and effective. The cost is higher than for open repair, but laparoscopic procedures are associated with less postoperative pain and shorter recovery time for the patient. Definitive statements comparing laparoscopic to open hernia repair await the conclusion of a large ongoing randomized U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center trial. Most surgeons agree, however, that the laparo­scopic approach is preferred only in bilateral and recur­rent hernias.
Three techniques have emerged as the most popular laparoscopic procedures for inguinal hernia repair: trans­abdominal preperitoneal (TAPP), intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM), and totally extraperitoneal (TEP). Laparo­scopic hernia repair techniques that violate the peri­toneum pose risks of trocar injury to viscera and an increased risk of adhesion formation. In the TAPP

FIGURE 12.6. Shouldice repair. (A) The procedure begins with complete division of the cremaster muscle, the external spermatic artery and vein, and the inguinal branch of the genitofemoral nerve. Then the posterior wall of the inguinal canal, including the transversalis fascia, is divided about 1 cm above the inguinal ligament. The internal ring is destroyed, leaving the spermatic cord mobile. The medial edge of the flap is elevated to the rectus sheath. (B) Repair is accomplished by imbricating the lateral and medial edges in a “vest-over-pants” fashion using continuous sutures (usually 34-gauge stainless steel), and the free edge of the medial flap is sutured to the shelving edge of the inguinal ligament.
