Posterior: fusion of the transversalis fascia and the transversus abdominis fascia. •Inferior (floor): the inguinal ligament and its shelving edge and medially the lacunar ligament of Gimbernat. Superior (roof): the arch formed by the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscle (conjoint tendon). Inguinal ligament (Poupart’s ligament): This is the condensed lower portion of the external oblique fascia and extends from the anterior superior iliac spine to the pubic tubercle. Its medial third has a free edge, whereas the lateral two thirds are attached to the iliopsoas fascia. Pectineal ligament (Cooper’s ligament): This is a strong ligament attached to the pubic ramus and formed jointly from the aponeurosis of the internal oblique, transversus abdominis, and pectineus muscles. Iliopubic tract (Thompson’s ligament): This is the condensed part of the transversalis fascia and extends from the pectineal ligament medially, forms the inferior border of the internal ring and the anterior wall of the femoral sheath, and attaches laterally to the iliopectineal arch (medial thickening of iliopsoas fascia).

Shouldice surgeons have not reported any ill effects related to this step. The minor sensation loss that results from dividing that nerve has not proven to be a substantial or longstanding disability. Pt Discharge – 48 – 72 hours post operative Progress?Progress?
