femoral ring การใช้

• It is through this femoral ring, that the intestines can protrude to form femoral hernia.
• Repair is either performed by suturing the inguinal ligament to the pectineal ligament using strong non-absorbable sutures or by placing a mesh plug in the femoral ring.
• Its base, directed upward and named the femoral ring, is oval in form, its long diameter being directed transversely and measuring about 1.25 cm.
• The "'femoral vessels "'are those blood vessels passing through the femoral ring into the femoral canal thereby passing down the length of the thigh until behind the knee.
• The femoral ring is closed by a somewhat condensed portion of the extraperitoneal fatty tissue, named the septum femorale ( crural septum ), the abdominal surface of which supports a small lymph gland and is covered by the parietal peritoneum.
• The femoral ring is bounded in front by the inguinal ligament, behind by the pectineus covered by the pectineal fascia, medially by the crescentic base of the lacunar ligament, and laterally by the fibrous septum on the medial side of the femoral vein.
• The artery in this course usually lies in contact with the external iliac vein, and on the medial side of the femoral ring " ( Figure A on diagram ) "; in such cases it would not be endangered in the operation for strangulated femoral hernia.
