SPOT LIGHT ON SURGERY 2025 MCQS BOOK DR FADI QUTISHAT Explanation A helpful mnemonic for remembering the boundaries (roof, anterior wall, floor, and posterior wall) (RAFP) of the inguinal canal is MALT: Muscles (roof), Aponeuroses (anterior wall), Ligaments (floor), and Tendons (posterior wall). This can be further expanded as "2MALT" to indicate the specific structures involved: 2 muscles (internal oblique and transversus abdominis), 2 aponeuroses (external and internal oblique), 2 ligaments (inguinal and lacunar), and 2 tendons (conjoint tendon and transversalis fascia). The boundaries of the inguinal canal are as follows: Anteriorly: The aponeuroses of the external and internal oblique Posteriorly: The transversalis fascia, medially, the conjoint tendon that is made up of the merging pubic attachments of the internal oblique and transversus abdominis aponeurosis Superiorly (the roof): Arching fibres of the internal oblique and transversus abdominis Inferiorly (the floor): The inguinal ligament which is the folded lower margin of the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle
