A transverse skin crease incision is made over the inguinal canal. This incision is usually about one finger's breadth above the base of the penis in an infant. The medial end of the incision is level with the pubic tubercle, while the lateral end is at the mid-inguinal point (Figure 75.1).

Indirect inguinal hernias emerge through the deep inguinal ring along with the structures of the spermatic cord and are as a result lateral to the inferior epigastric vessels. Some indirect inguinal hernias occur due to a patent processus vaginalis, which usually obliterates in childhood. The deep inguinal ring can be found at the midpoint of the inguinal ligament (1 cm above and lateral to the femoral pulse at the mid-inguinal point).

Intradermal injections of either 25 mg/ml PBV (Guerbet GmbH, Sulzbach, Germany) or 5 mg/ml ICG (Verdeye, Diagnostic Green GmbH, Aschheim-Dornbach, Deutschland) were performed 30 minutes before lymphatic vessel mapping and dissection in both the upper and lower limbs of each cadaver. Dissection was performed using prismatic loupe magnification and operative microscope (Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany), surgical instruments (Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany) and if appropriate, supermicrosurgical instrumentation (S&T AG, Schaffhausen, Switzerland). Intradermal injections were performed in the dorsum of the hand, medial upper arm, dorsum of the foot and the medial proximal thigh respectively. To assure consistency, all injections were performed using the same protocol. A total of 0.2 ml PBV and ICG (per injection site) were performed on the dorsum of the hand. The same PBV and ICG volume was injected approximately 14 cm distal from the axilla, along the proximal third of the bicipital groove, followed by the dorsum of the foot (2 cm proximally to the 2nd interdigital space) and 20 cm distal to the mid-inguinal point toward the groin.
From hypochondrium to hypochondria
Published in Journal of the History of the Neurosciences, 2023
During the second half of the seventeenth century, Danish anatomist Thomas Bartholin (1616–1680) wrote that the abdominal cavity’s “superolateral portion is called hypochondrium” (Bartholin 1677, 13). More precisely, the hypochondrium is one of nine topographical regions of the abdominal cavity. Located on both sides of the epigastric region, it is limited medially by the paramedian lines that extend from the mid-clavicular point to the mid-inguinal point, and caudally by the subcostal plane that joins the lowest point of the tenth costal cartilages. The spleen lies in the left hypochondrium, and the liver and gallbladder in the right.
