Inguinal canal

Let's look at the inguinal canal and talk about how it is formed, but we shouldn't go into crazy detail listing all the structures that contribute to different bits of it. Instead, let's focus on the the key principles involved to make sure we all understand how the inguinal canal is formed (so first we'll look at the muscle layers of the abdominal walls), what runs through it, and why it is important and interesting.

You are so good with explaining, you do not use difficult vocab and you always try to use simple words. Thank you!

13:55 around this time he starts talking about inguinal canal. Before that he was talking about muscles and other elements of thoracic wall. This was mainly a bookmark for me, but I hope this will help some of you, who are watching, too. ^_^

[@cellgrrl]

I am a retired RN. Gosh, I sure wish I had this channel to watch when I was in nursing school. My school was lacking an anatomy class because it was a very new school and so, I am missing a huge part of what should have been my education. I guess it is better late than never. Thank you for your wonderful explanations.

[@raymondhardacre8543]

On researching about hernias I came across your presentations , on my husbands e - address, in particular the Inguinal Canal clip. I am a TVT Mesh injured patient. This area was damaged by the 5" needles which were passed through my lower abdomen, via the vagina. I now understand my injury and why my left leg function has been impaired for the past ten years. Thank you. Ingrid H.

[@danielcastilo1840]

Your explanation of how the external oblique curves around together with the transversals fascia and then becomes part of the inguinal canal is the best explanation I’ve ever heard. Please keep making these videos , you have a talent for explaining anatomically difficult concepts. Thanks again

I am not a medical student, but I love to learn. Especially when the explanation is provided with happiness . I think there are no brutes. There are only teachers who do not know how to explain. Thank you for your videos!

[@freedommakers101]

I had torsion of the testicle when 13 both anchored via bilateral surgery. I haven't had any pain since then once anchored from twisting, but sometimes I had occasional hydrocele or swelling of the testicle that would go away on its own and not experienced this for many years. At 56 I am experiencing similar pain I had when I suffered torsion as a teenager, except not the testicle is affected by twisting, but now getting pain on either side of my public bone, the soft tissue on either side feels heavy and painful. Two days ago I got results of an ultrasound that said I have three small hernias but it said on the right side. Yet nothing on the left side even when experiencing pain on the left and right side and right over into public bone and dissipates almost instantly whenever I stretch out my lumbar muscles that feel heavy, sore, tight, weak and pull. I used to have pain in the lower lumbar when I had torsion attacks. Yesterday I bent over to pick some raspberries and my muscle just dropped in my lower lumbar and could barely stand up. It felt like my muscles just dropped in the lower back. Trying to figure what's going on all together Sam and what is causing or contributing to what.

[@joey1160]

Sam, is it theoretically possible, then, to strengthen or rebuild the fascia that a direct inguinal hernia was protruding through to heal the herniation and prevent surgery?
