Straight inguinal hernia

Direct inguinal hernia refers to a hernia formed by the abdominal viscera directly detached from the inguinal triangle (Hesselbach triangle) inside the inferior abdominal wall artery. Inguinal hernias occur in middle-aged and elderly people as well as frail people. They are related to many factors such as muscular and fascial hypoplasia, degenerative muscle atrophy, and increased intra-abdominal pressure in the triangular area of ​​the hernia. Huge oblique hernias weaken the posterior wall of the inguinal canal, or the absence of abdomen can be accompanied by straight hernia.
