1
Your doctor has told you that you have a hernia.
2
But what does that actually mean?
3
In general terms, we can say that a hernia occurs when the layers that make up the abdominal wall weaken.
4
In other words, the fabric of muscle and other tissues which protect the gut develops a defect or weakness.
5
Through that defect, the peritoneum and perhaps other organs push their way outward,
6
forming a lump which can be felt and sometimes seen protruding from the abdomen.
7
During normal childhood development, boys' testes slowly descend from the interior of the abdomen down into the scrotum.
8
They pass through the abdominal wall by way of a natural passageway called the inguinal canal.
9
In men, the inguinal canal contains blood vessels
10
that supply the testes as well as the vessel that carry sperm to the penis.
11
Hernias that occur due to a weakness in the abdominal wall at the inguinal canal are called inguinal hernias.
12
And not surprisingly, men are 25 times more likely than women to experience a hernia in this area.
13
Some inguinal hernias press directly through the floor of the inguinal canal.
14
Others follow the route taken by the blood vessels that supply the testes.
15
This kind of hernia, called an indirect hernia, can even push all the way into the scrotum.
16
Hernias become more serious problems if abdominal contents, such as part of the small intestine or another organ,
17
slide into the hernia sac and become trapped there.
18
If those organs cannot slide easily back into the abdomen, the hernia is said to be irreducible.
19
Irreducible hernias are often painful and can lead to complications.
20
For example, if the intestine becomes trapped in the hernia sac, it is said to be incarcerated.
21
If the neck of the hernia sac actually pinches off the supply of blood to those organs, which have become trapped inside,
22
the hernia is said to be strangulated.
23
On the day of your operation, you will be asked to put on a surgical gown.
24
You may receive a sedative by mouth and an intravenous line may be put in.
25
You will then be transferred to the operating table.
26
The surgeon will then apply antiseptic solution to the skin over for the hernia.
27
Place a sterile drape around the operative site and we'll inject a local anesthetic.
28
Usually the surgeon will inject more than one spot to make sure that the entire area is thoroughly numb.
29
Or in the case of a spinal, the anesthetic will be injected into the small of your back.
30
After allowing a few minutes for the anesthetic to take effect,
31
the surgeon will make a shallow incision three to five inches in length directly over the hernia.
32
The next incision dissects through the inguinal canal itself and reveals the hernia sac, which is simply the peritoneum that lines the inside of the abdomen.
33
The surgeon gently pushes the contents of the sac back into the abdomen.
34
Next, the opening at the neck of the peritoneum is tied and the hernia sac is removed.
35
The The pulmonal canal itself is closed with sutures.
36
These dissolve over time and do not need to be removed.
37
Any defect or weakness in the muscle tissue needs to be repaired in order to reduce the risk of reoccurrence.
38
Occasionally, the surgeon will use a mesh patch to help reinforce this area.
39
Then the muscle layers and other tissues are sewn together and the skin is closed with sutures or staples.
40
Finally, a sterile dressing is applied.
为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
本视频详细介绍了腹股沟疝气修复手术的过程，对于想要提高英语口语能力的学习者来说，理解并表达医疗相关的内容非常重要。通过跟随视频中的讲解，学习者能够有效地提高自己的表达流利度和自信心。与医疗护理相关的词汇和短语能帮助你在实际生活中与医生或医疗专业人员进行更清晰的沟通。此外，此类内容常常涉及专业性强的术语，练习这些内容能进一步增强你的专业英语能力。
语法与表达在上下文中的使用
- 被动语态：在讲解手术过程时，使用被动语态如“will be asked”、“is said to be”可以提升学习者的语言表达能力，让他们更好地表达不特定的主语。
- 条件句：在视频中提到“如果肠子被卡住，”等条件句有助于学习者掌握如何在描述假设情况时有效地构建句子。
- 专业词汇：如“hernia”、“incarcerated”、“strangulated”等术语的使用，能够帮助学习者积累医学领域的专有词汇，为未来相关的英语运用打下基础。
常见发音陷阱
在本视频中，有一些词汇的发音可能对学习者构成挑战。比如，“hernia”一词因其发音的特殊性质而容易出现误读。此外，短语“abdominal wall”中的“abdominal”部分也可能使学习者感到困惑，因为其词音较长，语调变化明显。为了提高英语发音，学习者不仅要重复这些短语，还可以运用“英语影子跟读”方法，从而模仿视频中的发音，达到更自然的口语表达。
通过这些练习，学习者能够克服发音障碍，将所学的内容灵活应用到实际交流中，提高英语口语练习的效果，从而增强自信，顺畅地表达专业知识。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
