Hernia Examination | Complete OSCE Guide (Inguinal, Femoral, Umbilical) | MDCN Exam Prep

Master the complete examination of a hernia in this comprehensive OSCE preparation video. Learn the theory, systematic examination approach, ring occlusion test, and watch a full demonstration with timed 3-minute OSCE scenario.

This video covers:

UNDERSTANDING HERNIA
- Definition: Hernia vs Normal anatomy
- Types of hernia (Inguinal – Direct & Indirect, Femoral, Umbilical, Incisional)
- Sites of origin (Deep inguinal ring, Hesselbach's triangle, Femoral canal)
- Predisposing factors (Chronic cough, Abdominal mass, Urethral stricture, Prostate enlargement)

EXAMINATION TECHNIQUE

Standing Position:
INSPECTION
- Anatomical site (Right/Left groin)
- Shape (Round, Oval)
- Extent (Into scrotum?)
- Previous groin scar
- Visible expansile cough impulse

PALPATION
- Differential warmth
- Tenderness
- Size (Horizontal & Vertical dimensions)
- Consistency (Soft)
- Fluctuation test
- Transillumination test
- Scrotal examination
- Palpable cough impulse

Lying Position:
- Spontaneous reduction
- Manual reduction technique
- Ring Occlusion Test (Direct vs Indirect differentiation)
- Differentiating Inguinal vs Femoral hernia

EXAMINING OTHER SYSTEMS
- Chest (Chronic cough – Auscultation)
- Abdomen (Mass – Palpation)
- Phallus (Urethral stricture)
- Prostate (DRE – Prostate enlargement)

KEY CLINICAL PEARLS
- Indirect hernia: Passes through deep inguinal ring
- Direct hernia: Through Hesselbach's triangle (bypasses deep ring)
- Ring occlusion test interpretation
- Inguinal vs Femoral: Superior/Medial vs Inferior/Lateral to pubic tubercle

Perfect for Nigerian medical students preparing for:
✓ MDCN Professional Examinations
✓ OSCE Clinical Skills Assessment
✓ Medical School Clinical Rotations
✓ MBBS Final Year Surgery Examinations
