Abstract

Objective: To investigate the attachment point, anatomy, and the histology of the ligament which often exists inside the inguinal hernia sac of the girls and is believed to be the round ligament, and to compare its histology with adult round ligament samples using immunohistochemical staining. Methods: Ligament samples were obtained from 20 girls who underwent inguinal hernia repair. These samples were compared with the round ligament samples obtained from 9 adult women. The histological assessment included hematoxylin & eosin staining and immunohistochemical staining. The immunohistochemical assessment included staining of Estrogen receptor (ER E1640 clone, mouse monoclonal, Spring Bioscience, USA) and striated muscle antibodies (Actin, skeletal muscle, 5C5. F8. C7 clone, rabbit polyclonal, Thermoscientific, USA). Results: Hematoxylin&eosin staining and ASM immunohistochemical staining of the proximal and distal parts of the ligaments located inside the inguinal hernia sac of the girls revealed striated muscle fibers both in the distal and proximal parts of the ligament. However, hematoxylin&eosin staining and immunohistochemical staining of the adult round ligaments demonstrated fibromuscular tissue and connective tissue components, but striated muscle fibers were not encountered. Although the ligament samples obtained from the girls displayed ER expression, round ligament samples obtained from the adult women were negative for ER expression. Conclusion: Differences in attachment point and the histology of the ligament existing inside the inguinal hernia sac of the girls suggest that this ligament is distinct from the round ligament existing in adult women. Further histological and immunohistochemical studies are required to elucidate the structure of this ligament clearly.

Özet

Amaç: Çocukluk çağı kız inguinal fıtıklarında kese içinde bulunan ve round ligament olarak varsayılan ligamentin yapışma yerini, anatomisini ve histolojik yapısını incelemek ve erişkin kadınlardan alınan round ligament örnekleriyle histolojik yapılarını immunohistokimyasal olarak karşılaştırmaktır. Yöntem: Ligament örnekleri inguinal herni onarımı uygulanan 20 kız hastadan elde edildi. Erişkin kadın grup 9 hastadan oluşuyordu. Histolojik inceleme dokuların hematoksilen-eosin ve immunohistokimyasal boyanarak yapıldı. İmmunohistokimyasal inceleme östrojen reseptör antikoru (ER E1640 klonu, mouse monoclonal, Spring Bioscience, USA) ve çizgili kas antikoru (Actin, skeletal muscle, 5C5. F8. C7 klonu, rabbit polyclonal, Thermoscientific, USA) ile boyanarak yapıldı. Bulgular: Kız inguinal fıtık keseleri içindeki ligament’lerin proksimal ve distal kısımlarını ayrı kesitlerde H&E ve ASM ile histolojik ve immunohistokimyasal incelemesinde hem proximal hem de distal parçalarda çizgili kas lifi saptandı. Round ligamentin incelemesinde fibromusküler dokular ağırlıkta olmak üzere bağ dokusu komponentleri gözlendi ve çizgili kas lifi hiçbir olguda saptanmadı. Kız inguinal fıtıklarındaki ligamentleri ve erişkin kadınlardan alınan round ligamentleri ER ekspresyonu yönünden karşılaştırıldığında, kızlardaki ligamentte ER eksprese olurken kadınlardaki round ligamentte ER ekspresyonu saptanmadı. Sonuç: Kızlardaki inguinal fıtık keseleri içinde uzanan ligamentin kesede sonlanması, histopatolojik yapısının erişkin kadınlardaki round ligamentten farklı olması, bu ligamentin round ligamentten farklı yapıda olduğunu göstermiştir. Kese içinde uzanan ligamentin histolojik ve immunohistokimyasal olarak daha ayrıntılı değerlendirilmesi için daha ileri çalışmalara gerek olduğu düşünülmektedir.
