02 – Surgical Anatomy	Abdominal wall layers, inguinal canal (walls/contents), Hesselbach's triangle, femoral canal
03 – Aetiology & Pathophysiology	Risk factors (congenital, raised IAP, wall weakness), key epidemiological numbers
04 – Classification	By reducibility (reducible/incarcerated/obstructed/strangulated/sliding) and by site (table)
05 – Inguinal Hernia	Direct vs indirect two-column comparison, eponyms (Amyand's, Littre's, Richter's, Maydl's, Pantaloon)
06 – Femoral Hernia	Anatomy, clinical features, high strangulation rate, surgical approaches
07 – Other Abdominal Wall	Umbilical (children vs adults), para-umbilical, epigastric, Spigelian, incisional hernias
08 – Special/Rare Hernias	Obturator (Howship-Romberg sign), sciatic, lumbar, perineal, hiatal
09 – Clinical Features	Presentation, detailed physical examination technique, ring occlusion test
10 – Incarceration & Strangulation	Definitions, pathophysiology, emergency management, bowel viability assessment
11 – Investigations	Ultrasound, CT, MRI, herniography – indications for each
12 – Open Repair	Principles, comparison table of all named repairs (Bassini, Shouldice, Lichtenstein, Stoppa, Lockwood, McEvedy, Mayo)
13 – Laparoscopic Repair	TEP vs TAPP two-column slide, evidence summary, open vs laparoscopic comparison
14 – Complications of Repair	Early vs late two-column slide, chronic pain (neuropathic/nociceptive, fibrin glue data)
15 – Special Situations	Paediatric hernia, pregnancy, emergency presentation, watchful waiting evidence
16 – Key Points & Summary	11-point exam-ready summary, mnemonics slide
