Trigonum inguinale

The trigonum inguinale ( trigonum Hesselbachi ) is a topographical site located in the regio inguinalis. It is projected in the fossa (fovea) inguinalis medialis. In this place, the fascia transversalis, which covers the muscles, is thin - it is therefore a weakened area of ​​the abdominal wall and this is a predisposition for the formation of an inguinal hernia. In this place, it is specifically a direct inguinal hernia - hernia inguinalis directa.

Boundaries
The boundary is formed by reinforced strips of transverse fascia.
