After the examination of sphincteroplasty as a method of operative treatment of inguinal hernia, Bleek, based on his own experience (12 cases), suggests that after exposing the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle, it should be dissected in the usual way, making two parallel incisions immediately next to the pouparticular ligament and on the medial side.

Abstract Background and Purpose. Controversy exists around exercises and clinical tests that attempt to differentially activate the upper or lower portions of the rectus abdominis muscle. The purpose of this study was to assess the activation of the upper and lower portions of the rectus abdominis muscle during a variety of abdominal muscle contractions. Subjects. Subjects (N=11) were selected from a university population for athletic ability and low subcutaneous fat to optimize electromyographic (EMG) signal collection. Methods. Controlling for spine curvature, range of motion, and posture (and, therefore, muscle length), EMG activity of the external oblique muscle and upper and lower portions of rectus abdominis muscle was measured during the isometric portion of curl-ups, abdominal muscle lifts, leg raises, and restricted or attempted leg raises and curl-ups. A one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to test for differences in activity between exercises in the external oblique and rectus abdominis muscles as well as between the portions of the rectus abdominis muscle. Results. No differences in muscle activity were found between the upper and lower portions of the rectus abdominis muscle within and between exercises. External oblique muscle activity, however, showed differences between exercises. Discussion and Conclusion. Normalizing the EMG signal led the authors to believe that the differences between the portions of the rectus abdominis muscle are small and may lack clinical or therapeutic relevance.

Paraguinal hernias include hernias of the inguinal region, which, like oblique hernias, exit the abdominal cavity through the internal opening of the inguinal canal, pass the latter, but exit not through the external opening, but away from it through the slit of the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle. These gaps in the aponeurosis are located between the arcuate fibers, rounding the outer opening of the inguinal canal, then on the median or lateral leg of the inguinal opening.
