“…In the beginning of the 20th century, several concepts concerning cryptorchidism that are currently useful for understanding the disease were accepted, such as the prevalence of hernias, the possibility of torsion, the malignant potential of the "arrested" testis, and functional limitations of cryptorchid testis, both in terms of spermatogenesis and hormone production. These were well summarized by Eccles in a lecture named "The Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology of the Imperfectly Descended Testis" [ 27 , 28 ].…”

The history of treatment for cryptorchidism dates back more than 200 years. This review is intended to highlight some historical aspect that led us to our current surgical treatment of this condition. The medical and historical surgical literatures pertaining to cryptorchidism were reviewed. Data sources were PubMed, Embase, conference proceedings, and bibliographies. No language, date, or publication status restrictions were imposed. The study of cryptorchidism began with the anatomical descriptions of Baron Albrecht von Haller and John Hunter. Attempts at surgical correction of the undescended testis began in the early 1800s, culminating in the first successful orchiopexy by Thomas Annandale in 1877. Max Schüller, Arthur Dean Bevan and Lattimer contributed to the establishment of current techniques for standard orchiopexy. Later, laparoscopy, high inguinal incision (Jones' approach) and scrotal approach were added to the list of current orchiopexy.

“…Apart from the umbilical region, the inguinal canal is most often the weakest point of the abdominal wall, and here, so-called inguinal hernias are formed ( 10 , 11 ). There are other weak points where hernias could also be formed, possibly endangering the patient's life, such as the Grynfeltt's triangle, the Petit's triangle, the umbilical region, and the linea alba ( 12 ).…”

New Insights Into the Development of the Anterior Abdominal Wall

et al. 2022

PurposeAmong the few studies that have examined the development of the anterior abdominal wall, several are based on incomplete “series”, substituted in many cases by non-human specimens.Material and MethodsIn total, 19 human embryos corresponding to Carnegie stages 15–23, 36 fetuses with estimated gestational ages ranging from 9 weeks to term, and eight neonates were included in this study. All specimens belong to the collection of the Department of Anatomy and Embryology at the Complutense University of Madrid.ResultsThe muscles of the anterior abdominal wall appear in the dorsal region at stages 15 and 16 (33–37 days). At stages 17 and 18 (41–44 days), this muscular mass grows ventrally and splits into two sheets: the external abdominal oblique muscle and the common mass of the internal abdominal oblique, and the transversus abdominis muscles, all of which end ventrally in the primitive condensation of the rectus abdominis. In embryos at stages 19 and 20 (48 days), the anterior abdominal wall continues to show an umbilical hernia in the amniotic cavity. However, a narrow neck is apparent for the first time and there is a wider anterior abdominal wall below the hernia made up of dense mesenchyme tissue without layers and showing the primordia of the umbilical canal. In embryos at stages 21, 22, and 23 (51–57 days), the abdominal muscles and aponeuroses cross the midline (linea alba) covering the rectus abdominis and pyramidalis muscles while the umbilical hernia has shrunk. In fetuses during the 9th and 10th weeks, the umbilical hernia becomes encircled by the rectus abdominis muscle, its aponeurosis, and the three layers of lateral abdominal muscles, which are more developed and covered by Camper's and Scarpa's fasciae. The inguinal canal has a course and relationships like those described in adults, with Hesselbach's ligament.
