Surgical anatomy of the ilioinguinal and the lateral cutaneous femoral nerve and their clinical significance during surgical procedures performed on the inguinal region.
Summary:
Aim of the current study is to present in detail the anatomy of the ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric and lateral femoral cutaneous nerves. Due to the high frequency of surgeries in the inguinal area, the anatomy of the nerves of this region is very important. Current surgery of the abdominal wall entails recognition of these nerves which carries obvious benefits. It is clearly documented in multiple studies in the literature that these nerves are subject to injury during various procedures. Those studies stress the need to identify and describe their anatomical variations. Cadaveric studies have described anatomical variations of the origin, point of exit, course or even total absence of these nerves. The clinical significance of the nerves of the inguinal area during procedures is related to both the possibility of persistent and severe postoperative pain related to an injury but also related to a decreased intraoperative and postoperative amount of pain after peripheral block of these nerves. In conclusion, anatomical variations of the nerves are related to higher risk of injury. That is why the understanding of their anatomical variations is crucial in order to avoid serious complications.
