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 ...
19928. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The inguinal canal is a passage in the anterior abdominal wall on each side of the body (one on each side of the midline), which in males, convey the spermatic cords and in females, the round ligament of the uterus. The inguinal canals are larger and more prominent in males.
The pubic tubercle is a prominent forward-projecting tubercle on the upper border of the medial portion of the superior ramus of the pubis bone. The inguinal ligament attaches to it. [1] Part of the abdominal external oblique muscle inserts onto it. [1] The inferior epigastric artery passes between the pubic tubercle and the anterior superior ...
The superficial inguinal lymph nodes are the inguinal lymph nodes that form a chain immediately inferior to the inguinal ligament. They lie deep to the fascia of Camper that overlies the femoral vessels at the medial aspect of the thigh. They are bounded superiorly by the inguinal ligament in the femoral triangle, laterally by the border of the ...
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 lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh (also called the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve) is a cutaneous nerve of the thigh. It originates from the dorsal divisions of the second and third lumbar nerves from the lumbar plexus. It passes under the inguinal ligament to reach the thigh. It supplies sensation to the skin on the lateral part of the ...
Its fibers run perpendicular to the external oblique muscle, beginning in the thoracolumbar fascia of the lower back, the anterior 2/3 of the iliac crest (upper part of hip bone) and the lateral half of the inguinal ligament. The muscle fibers run from these points superomedially (up and towards midline) to the muscle's insertions on the ...
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 ...
