PROPERITONEAL INGUINAL HERNIA Meaning and Definition

1. Properitoneal inguinal hernia is a type of hernia that occurs in the inguinal region, specifically in the groin area. A hernia refers to the protrusion of an organ or tissue through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue that usually contains it. In the case of properitoneal inguinal hernia, the hernia sac or part of the peritoneum (the membrane lining the abdominal cavity) bulges through the weakened inguinal canal.

   The inguinal canal is a passageway in the lower abdominal wall that allows structures, such as blood vessels and the spermatic cord in males, to pass from the abdomen to the scrotum. A properitoneal inguinal hernia occurs when the sac herniates between the internal and external inguinal rings, which are openings in the abdominal wall that form part of the inguinal canal.

   This type of hernia is considered properitoneal because the hernia sac emerges from behind the peritoneum, rather than passing through the peritoneal cavity. It is typically a direct hernia rather than an indirect hernia, which means it protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall without descending into the scrotum.

   Properitoneal inguinal hernias may occur spontaneously or be caused by increased abdominal pressure due to heavy lifting, persistent coughing, or obesity. Symptoms commonly associated with properitoneal inguinal hernias include groin pain, a bulge in the groin area, and discomfort during physical activities. Surgical repair is the standard treatment for this type of hernia to prevent complications such as incarceration or strangulation.

2. H. En bissac, a complicated h. having a double sac, one part in the inguinal canal, the other projecting from the internal inguinal ring in the subperitoneal tissues.
