For those who study from this, deep to the internal oblique there's is transversus abdominis before transversalis fascia that wasn't mentionned here.

LOL, I’m 81 and will be having this surgery pretty soon. I made the mistake of watching actual procedures and not understanding, now that this fellow did such a detailed job of explaining the area from three directions, I need to go back and watch the actual procedures again.
Thanks for simplifying and making this so clear, so even a layman can understand it a little.

Honestly I read thousands of books and watched videos but I couldn't understand this concept. You just explained it within 10 minutes saved my whole carrier....it took me to 3 years to clearly understand this concept. Your explanation is really amazing... Thank you so much ... Keep it on..

3 years. It took me 3 years to understand this in a way that I won't ever forget it again.

This is the best video ever… never have I ever seen such a detailed and clear explanation for hernias. Thank you so so much for clearing my concept. ❤

It helped me great much to show in these pictures. I didn't know what teachers at our med school were talking about since my first year Anatomy classes. This 15 minutes solved it all. Thank you.

I thank you so much for this video. I never understood the difference between direct and indirect hernias in detail. Next week it will be my last exam in med school- so it was time to finally understand! :D thank you.
