    Pathophysiology of Hernia

    Uploaded by

    Claudia Narinda R. P
    Inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents protrude through the inguinal canal. During fetal development, the testes normally descend through this canal. After birth, the canal usually closes by 2 months of age. However, if it remains partially or fully open, it can lead to hydroceles or congenital inguinal hernias, respectively. In adults, inguinal hernias are usually due to weakened abdominal wall muscles from aging or conditions that increase intra-abdominal pressure, which can cause a previously closed canal to reopen.

    Pathophysiology

    • Inguinal canal is the normal canal of the fetus.


    • In the 8th month of pregnancy, desensus testiculorum occurs through the
    inguinal canal.
    • A decrease in the testicles will attract the peritoneum to the scrotum area,
    resulting in a peritoneal bulge called the peritoneal vaginal process.
    • When the baby is born generally this process has been obliterate, so the
    contents of the abdominal cavity can’t through the canal.
    • But in some cases often have not closed, because the left testis down first
    from right, then the right inguinal canal is more often open.
    • Under normal circumstances, this open channel will close by 2 months of
    age.
    • When the process is partly open, it will arise hydrocele.
    • If the canal is open continuously, because the process does not obliterate,
    it will arise congenital lateral inguinalis hernia
    • Usually hernia in adults is due to age  at an old age
    muscle wall of the abdominal cavity can be weakened.
    • In the elderly the canal has closed, but because a locus
    minoris resistance  causing increased intraabdominal
    pressure such as, chronic cough, strong sneeze and
    heavy lifting and straining, then closed canals can
    reopen and a lateral inguinal hernia arises from the
    impulse of tissue and exit through the defect.
    • Finally suppress the cavity walls that have been dilated
    due to trauma, prostatic hypertrophy, ascites,
    pregnancy, obesity, and congenital abnormalities.
