Hernial membrane

The hernial membrane (or hernial fascia) is an important element in the process of restoring health and preventing recurrence of hernias. The membrane consists of various structures that form a muscular and fascial framework that prevents the recurrence of hernias inside the abdominal cavity.

One of the important elements of the shell is tendons



The hernial sac is an anatomical formation located outside the hernial contents. It has the shape of a spindle or egg, sometimes the shape of a turnip. Length (tension) up to 80 cm. After the membranes exit the hernial orifice, the bottom of the sac protrudes in the form of a fold of the membrane above the hernia. The wall of the hernial sac consists of 3 layers: internal, intermediate and external. The inner layer represents the serous covering of the organs located in the hernial sac. The intermediate layer forms the parietal layer of the peritoneum and covers the hernial septum, consisting of aponeurotic (external or internal) or muscle plates. The outer layer is represented by fibrous connective tissue that forms the adventitia.

The intestinal loops are surrounded by perigastric (membranous) deposition of fatty tissue. Through the intestinal loops pass vessels directed to the peritoneum, anastomotic arteries, iliopelvic lymph nodes, and the inferior mesenteric node. Venous from
