Open3DAnatomy - 3D model Inguinal and Femoral Canal and Structures in Inguinal and Femoral Hernia Surgery - English labels
3D model of the Inguinal and Femoral Canal and Structures relevant for Inguinal and Femoral Hernia Surgery. This model focuses on the structures relevant to understand the inguinal canal and femoral canal, including the structures relevant in surgery for inguinal and femoral hernia's. Surgically relevant structures that are present include: inferior epigastric artery to obturator artery connection (corona mortis), lacunar ligament (Gimbernath), iliopubic tract, inguinal triangle (Hesselbach's), iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves, etc.. Overlays (green transparent) are used to show structures with specific names that are part of larger structures. For instance: lacunar ligament, reflected inguinal ligament, iliopubic tract, femoral sheath, femoral canal, femoral ring, deep and superficial inguinal rings, inguinal (Hesselbach's) triangle, conjoint tendon, medial and lateral crus of superficial inguinal ring. Most of these overlays are initially hidden, but they can be shown via the menu. This model contains a selection of the structures that are present in the model 'Open3DAnatomy - 3D model Inguinal and Femoral Canal and Surrounding Regions - English labels' The source model was created by the AnatomyTOOL Open3D Model Project.
