Groin hernias
1:45 PM - 2:25 PMAbstract
The groin is colloquially referred to by anatomists as the ‘Bermuda triangle’ of the human body owing to the complex and often poorly understood anatomy. And whilst groin pain is a common clinical entity, the confusing constellation of patient symptoms will often leave referring clinician’s scratching their heads. So the honour (or burden!) of diagnostician not infrequently falls to the sonographer to exclude herniae.
Hernia ultrasound can easily instill fear in many sonographers, so this presentation aims to increase the sonographic confidence of attendees by offering a methodical and systematic approach to hernia ultrasound. Key objectives include simplification of the anatomy and how to reliably achieve diagnostic scan planes.
