Beein with u since i was in my first year of medical school .. now im in my last studying surgery of inguinal hernia and yet u r my fav anatomist and i will be watching ur vids for the rest of my career
Sam that was one of the best videos i ever watched in anatomy. I was struggling to understand the anatomy of hernias through notes and images..nothing compares to your fluently explanation. Many thanks for your time and your free of charge video! If only all our professors had the same passion as you!
I've just been diagnosed with one of these things and I must say that this was one of the most informative videos I've ever seen and you explained it so well. You're a top bloke and thanks for sharing.
Hi there. I'm a female, 55 years old, who actually began having discomfort in my inguinal area in 2014! At that time, and for a few years after that, there was no visible lump formed, yet, there WAS a hernia, the doctors could see on an ultrasound and MRI. The doctors saw no physical lump while doing a Physical exam on me, tho That was 10 years ago, and, the discomfort and the lump have continued to grow. Now, 10 years later, I have a huge lump that is literally between the inguinal and femoral areas. Now it looks like it could be a femoral hernia. I'm so scared of having surgery, and very scared about the recovery. Was curious, did you have your surgery yet? And did they have to use mesh? From what I understand, these hernia surgeries can be done without mesh if they are small hernias. Please let me know if you had your surgery yet, and was mesh used on your surgery also, how was your recovery if you had your surgery, and how are you feeling now? If you had your surgery, how long was your recovery..?
Yes, I had my surgery in December last year and took 3 weeks off work, but I should have probably taken more. And yes, mesh was used. I wasn't allowed to lift much when I returned to work, and from now on, I will be extra careful with what I lift believe you me as that is how I got the hernia in the first place. For me being a man the bruising and swelling was horrendous and quite sore for a few weeks. So three months down the track im pretty much back to normal. I'm still a bit sore in the groin area and I can tell there is something there that shouldn't be, that being the mesh. Im 64 and like I say, im being very careful with what I lift, in fact I'm probably going to retire later on this year. One other thing is I had it done in a private hospital using my insurance. It was day surgery and so after about two hours they deem you fit enough to go home to recover. Personally I was in no fit state to go home and when I left the hospital no assistance was offered to me to get down three floors and get into a car which I thought was very poor service. A wheel chair would have made it a whole lot easier instead of trying to walk. This has happened to me on other occasions in the private sector. Not good, especially when you are paying for it privately. Anyway I'm going on a bit but hope this helps. All the best.
Great video, I'm going to get my inguinal hernia surgery a week from now. Been watching so many of these videos my UA-cam recommendations will never be the same lol.
@mudkow5092 Went by the book, followed doctor's orders and these videos helped, feels so much better. Waited 6 months before going back to the gym. Taking it slow has seemed to work well.
Wow, that was the best discussion and description of an inguinal hernia ever! As someone who just got one (I know, Lucky me!) I was curious to know more about my condition. Thank you very much for the clear and concise presentation!
I have watched so many of these videos trying to get a full understanding of what is happening. This by far the best one I have watched. I know exactly now what is going on. Thanks a ton!
Thank you very much. Ive just had the Lap surgery to repair the an Inguinal Hernia, and this has given me a better understanding of inner workings of why it appeared.
Hi , I am so pleased to have found your excellent, relatively easy to understand and clear presentation of what my recently diagnosed inguinal hernia actually is. My doctor is lovely but she couldn’t quite describe it in as clear a fashion as you have here. I have obviously been confusing abdominal hernias videos, up to now, as I was hoping to strengthen the muscular wall through which my inguinal hernia has rudely entered, but from your explanation that doesn’t seem possible. Thank you.
I have a right side Inguinal Hernia. How do you feel about wearing a double hernia belt while lifting just for the sake of prevention on the other side?
As others stated, superb talk, especially as I just had inguinal op, and to be honest had not much idea of the anatomy of my problem, amazingly now I see why the pain before and after is so obvious and see that it is a life changing thing, so many thanks Sam, superb I suppose lecture.
Tysm Dr webster for uploading this video! I'm in my final prof/ year of mbbs rn and I still watch your videos before studying for surgery topics because it's always great to refresh your anatomy knowledge before jumping into a surgery lecture. I used to watch your videos all the time during my 1st prof/year when I had to study anatomy and it made understanding anatomy so much easier. You've helped me a lot throughout my mbbs and I am so so grateful! Ty for making anatomy easy, fun and understandable.
Wow...I have just had a inguinal hernia repaired which led me here....how interesting to know the workings of the body....thank you for sharing your knowledge
I had an inguinal hernia in 2009. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life thank God the doctor got me in within two weeks for surgery. He said there was some strangulation going on in there. He did it using laparoscopic and mesh, so far so good and I would never want to ever have another one again.
Sam, thanks for this education. I know much more about my condition in advance of a surgeon's appt on Monday Sept 18 2023. I feel more prepared to understand my condition as he explains treatment options. Many thanks from Fort Worth, Texas.
@@suzettecamilo2773it went really well! I do still have scars from the incesion spots (3 cuts) but overall, nothing to be scared of. Full anesthesia and the surgery took about an hour intotal. Couldnt walk properly for about 3 days for me. Been 3 months now and im back at the Gym, and back at work since a long time already and barely feel anything from it anymore. Good luck with your Surgery! I'm sure you will be fine!
Superb explanation with excellent models to empower me to see exactly what is being explained. I'm now in a much friendlier relationship with my hernia. And, maybe I can have a slightly more intelligent discussion with my surgeon. Thank you for this.
Dang, if I had found your channel in my first year! Thank you a lot for this video, I am preparing for surgery exam and this was of great help! Short and clear 🙌
My fav anatomist! Sam Sir, I fell in love with this subject because of your teaching methodology...watching these quality videos since the first year of my med school till today...3rd year Surgery lectures...always a bliss to listen you illustrating anatomical topics 😀
Earlier today i was palpating my ingroinal canal it then began to hurt. I have now stopped palpating it to give it a rest and now it seems to stop hurting. My left hip is sore from activity, I think the slight inflamation had squeezed my ingroinal canal and the sensitive nerves it contains, causing me to palpate it out of curiosity. Thanks for helping me find my way around my body.
Thank you! My partner for over 20 years, passed away following hernia surgery, SEPTEMBER 2023, several months ago, at the age of 78. Thank you for your expertise.
I’m sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace. Was the surgery directly linked to his passing? I have undergone the surgery myself and will most likely need a second one to fix a failed repair.
There is a class action lawsuit regarding the use of mesh during hernia surgery procedures. I have not followed it up, however information is presented in Google search.
As someone who came back to university to study medicine after very long hiatus (11 years, give or take) your videos are pure gold. I had anatomy exam in my first year of university, I was horrified. People were failing exam left and right, it was so stressful trying to grasp some of the concepts (Eastern Europe, country, we didn't have models or cadavers, so it was very hard to visualise, at least in the beginning, later I managed to save money for Netter's Atlas of Anatomy and found second hand old edition of Sobbotta Atlas). It helped a lot. But I would sell my soul for something like this back in the day. So comprehensive. Being so long out of medicine, my knowledge is rusty to say the least but I'm trying my best to finish what I started almost 20 years ago. And you, sir, are helping more than you'll ever know. Thank you P.S. sorry for my not so great English, as you can tell, not my native tongue.
Excellent explanation, very easy for lay people like myself to understand. I still got to have mine repaired (suture hopefully not the dreaded mesh) but fascinating to know whats happened
Amazing. Watching My Natural Hernia Cure on here for info and healing...I have a direct (I think) I can still massage and relax and breathe out. I'm 51 but fit, so trying to strengthen those muscles. Great videos by George Hirst explaining how. Seems helpful and stays in longer. Who knows, if needed, surgery. Mine could be fat, as it is soft and squishy. Fugax too, as pelvic muscles need strengthening and inguinals need too. Abs are good, so good start. Thanks for the knowledge. 22 years flying military helicopters didn't help.
Really useful A&P review of the Inguinal Hernia… It’s allowed me to gain a better understanding of what’s actually happened. I’m aware you’re not a doctor, however when conducting the operation, I have discomfort of the hip flexor when trying to fully extend the leg &😮 also weakness when lifting the knee.. I am due for my 2 wk review with the doctor, however I was wondering if the operation when fitting the Gauze could have had something to do with this, even though it seems doubtful. What are your thoughts? Thanks for sharing your video & also if you find time to respond.
1:33 - "...So they're outside the body, but 'nearby'..."😂 That statement, to me, is very thought- provoking 😂, Kudos. I am recognizing that this man is not only an Anatomist but also a Linguist, and perhaps many other "-ists" as well. Well done.
Bilateral Inguinal fat hernia can cause lower adominal cramps, burning pain , nerve painnin lower partn of abdomen. Also hip and back nerve pain? I was diagnosed incidentally thru ct stonogram. Thanks sir. Looking forward to your answer God bless
Okay so. I'm sometimes getting a burn sensation in this area. No bulge, the burn sensation mostly goes away after I go for a wee. I've heard stomach vacuums can help, various anecdotal experiences. When I first tried it, I did feel a very satisfying sensation in the area of interest. The suspect burn is quite rare though.
Beein with u since i was in my first year of medical school .. now im in my last studying surgery of inguinal hernia and yet u r my fav anatomist and i will be watching ur vids for the rest of my career

Sam takes the mystery out of the realm of the surgeons; who in most cases fail to communicate effectively. Bravo!!
I absolutely love Sam’s accent, sense of humor, and overall his precise way of explaining. I’ve learned a lot from him.
Sam, you're a genius anatomist and communicator, loving your videos all the way from down-under in Australia xxx
I've just been diagnosed with one of these things and I must say that this was one of the most informative videos I've ever seen and you explained it so well. You're a top bloke and thanks for sharing.

Absolutely amazing! I couldn’t understand hernias until I found this video. You’re helping lots of students, sir. Thank you!
Extremely well done Sam. Thank you!
This man is awesome how he explains everything so clearly. Why don’t we have presidents and prime ministers like this? (they can’t be truthful😂)
Cuz he is a scientist, have u ever seen legitimate scientist in politics? Neither did I...
Because , people are mentally tough to understand the situation.
Why
Question: why don’t people like this hold elected office
Answer: _the electorate_
We do have a truthful president his name is DONALD J TRUMP and if you don't want to lose your country you better vote for him TRUMP 2024 !!!
Very helpful, very informative teaching from a good specialist. Much appreciated.
Wow, that was the best discussion and description of an inguinal hernia ever! As someone who just got one (I know, Lucky me!) I was curious to know more about my condition. Thank you very much for the clear and concise presentation!

This answers all my questions. Without paying a ton of money tp see the right doctor.
