mid inguinal point vs midpoint of inguinal ligament
Deep inguinal ring However, the surface anatomy of the point is disputed. In a recent study[2] it was found to be in a region between the mid-inguinal point (situated midway between the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic symphysis) and the midpoint of the inguinal ligament (i.e. midway between the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic tubercle). Traditionally, either one of these 2 sites was claimed as its location. However, this claim is based upon the study's dissection of 52 cadavers, and may not reflect the live in vivo anatomy.
Inguinal hernia surgery All techniques involve an approximate 10-cm incision in the groin. Once exposed, the hernia sac is returned to the abdominal cavity or excised and the abdominal wall is very often reinforced with mesh.[3] There are many techniques that do not utilize mesh and have their own situations where they are preferable.[13][7]
