Trigonum inguinale
From WikiLectures
The trigonum inguinale ( trigonum Hesselbachi ) is a topographical site located in the regio inguinalis. It is projected in the fossa (fovea) inguinalis medialis . In this place, the fascia transversalis , which covers the muscles, is thin - it is therefore a weakened area of the abdominal wall and this is a predisposition for the formation of an inguinal hernia . In this place, it is specifically a direct inguinal hernia - hernia inguinalis directa .
Boundaries[edit | edit source]
The boundary is formed by reinforced strips of transverse fascia.
- Caudally – ligamentum inguinale ;
- laterally – ligamentum interfoveolare ;
- medially – falx inguinalis .
