The pectineal ligament, sometimes known as the inguinal ligament of Cooper, is an extension of the lacunar ligament. (wikipedia.org)
The pectineal ligament is the posterior border of the femoral ring. (wikipedia.org)
The pectineal ligament connects to the lacunar ligament, and therefore to the inguinal ligament. (wikipedia.org)
The pectineal ligament is usually around 6 cm long in adults. (wikipedia.org)
The pectineal ligament is strong, and holds suture well. (wikipedia.org)
citation needed] The pectineal ligament was characterized by Astley Cooper in 1804. (wikipedia.org)
The surgeon then sutured the upper patch to the inguinal ligament, pectineal ligament and pubic tubercle. (canjsurg.ca)
Hernias6
Femoral hernias are less common than inguinal hernias. (canjsurg.ca)
1 , 2 The use of preformed mesh to repair inguinal hernias without tension has become increasingly common since it was described by Lichstenstein and colleagues. (canjsurg.ca)
For irreducible hernias, the femoral ring was enlarged by partially sliting the inguinal ligament. (canjsurg.ca)
More common in adults than in children, femoral hernias usually present with swelling Swelling Inflammation that protrudes into the femoral triangle (inferiorly to the inguinal ligament and medial to the femoral vein). (lecturio.com)
Although uncommon, femoral hernias are frequently associated with complications, secondary to the small size of the canal, leading to hernia Hernia Protrusion of tissue, structure, or part of an organ through the bone, muscular tissue, or the membrane by which it is normally contained. (lecturio.com)
The most common hernias encountered in surgical practice include ventral, inguinal, and femoral hernias. (lecturio.com)
When the retention suture is pulled tightly, the inferior 3-D device will extend to form a round patch with a maximum diameter of 5 cm, which will protect the femoral area and prevent organs in the abdominal cavity from dropping into the femoral canal. (canjsurg.ca)
Once the hernia sac was ligated or replaced, the inferior part of the Prolene 3-D patch was inserted into the preperitoneal space from the outlet of the femoral canal. (canjsurg.ca)
The femoral ring is the proximal or abdominal/pelvic opening of the femoral canal. (lecturio.com)
The femoral canal is a cylindrical space, making up the medial compartment enclosed within the femoral sheath. (lecturio.com)
Abdominal1
Toward the inferior half of the abdominal skin, these lines begin to assume a slightly more oblique course in an inferior medial direction toward the groin, paralleling the inguinal crease. (medscape.com)

approximately 90% of all inguinal hernia repairs are performed on males. (medscape.com)
Once the hernia sac was ligated or replaced, the inferior part of the Prolene 3-D patch was inserted into the preperitoneal space from the outlet of the femoral canal. (canjsurg.ca)
The external abdominal hernia is the most common form, the most frequent varieties being the inguinal, femoral and umbilical, accounting for 75% of cases. (enetmd.com)
A femoral hernia is rare in men and nulliparous women but more common in multiparous women due to stretching of the pelvic ligaments. (enetmd.com)

Fat acts to separate muscle bundles and layers, weakens aponeuroses and favours the appearance of paraumbilical, direct inguinal and hiatus hernias. (enetmd.com)
The neck is usually well deļ¬ned but in some direct inguinal hernias and in many incisional hernias there is no actual neck. (enetmd.com)
