Structures passing behind the inguinal ligament. Anterolateral view of the right side of the pelvis. The inguinal ligament (/ ˈɪŋɡwɪnəl / [1][2]), also known as Poupart's ligament or groin ligament, is a band running from the pubic tubercle to the anterior superior iliac spine. It forms the base of the inguinal canal through which an ...
The conjoint tendon is formed from the lower part of the common aponeurosis of the abdominal internal oblique muscle and the transversus abdominis muscle. [1] It inserts into the pubic crest and the pectineal line immediately behind the superficial inguinal ring. [1] It is usually conjoint with the tendon of the internal oblique muscle, but ...
The pectineal ligament is strong, and holds suture well. [citation needed] This facilitates reconstruction of the floor of the inguinal canal. [citation needed] It is a useful landmark for pelvic surgery. [1] A variant of non-prosthetic inguinal hernia repair, first used by Georg Lotheissen in Austria, now bears his name. [citation needed]
The reflex inguinal ligament is a triangular fibrous band that arises from the lacunar ligament and the pubis and passes diagonally upward and medially behind the superficial inguinal ring and in front of the inguinal falx to join with the linea alba . The reflected part of the inguinal ligament is an extension from the lateral crus of the ...
An inguinal hernia or groin hernia is a hernia (protrusion) of abdominal cavity contents through the inguinal canal. Symptoms, which may include pain or discomfort especially with or following coughing, exercise, or bowel movements, are absent in about a third of patients. Symptoms often get worse throughout the day and improve when lying down.
Lacunar ligament. The inguinal and lacunar ligaments. (Lacunar ligament labeled at center top.) The lacunar ligament, also named Gimbernat's ligament, is a ligament in the inguinal region. [1] It connects the inguinal ligament to the pectineal ligament, [2] near the point where they both insert on the pubic tubercle. [3]
The reflected inguinal ligament ( triangular fascia) is a layer of tendinous fibers of a triangular shape, formed by an expansion from the lacunar ligament and the inferior crus of the subcutaneous inguinal ring . It passes medialward behind the spermatic cord, and expands into a somewhat fan-shaped band, lying behind the superior crus of the ...
Inguinal triangle. Internal (from posterior to anterior) view of right inguinal area of the male pelvis. Inguinal triangle is labeled in green. The three surrounding structures: inferior epigastric vessels: Run from upper left to center. inguinal ligament: Runs from upper right to bottom left. rectus abdominis muscle: Runs from upper left to ...
