iccord, in the male; the round ligament, in the female. The cut edgesof the aponeurosis should be seized with artery forceps and separatedfreely from the underlying parts with the finger. The spermaticcord is a structure as big around as the little finger. It is made upof the vas deferens, which is the efferent duct of the testicle; theartery of the vas deferens and the cremasteric artery, and theircorresponding veins; the spermatic artery, and the pampiniformvenous plexus. As these structures traverse the inguinal canal theyare all bound together into a single rounded cord by a strong sheathof fascia, the infundibular process of the transversalis fascia. De-scending upon the cord are also seen the fibers of the cremastermuscle, which are derived from the lower edge of the internal obliquein the descent of the testes. The cord is also accompanied, in itscourse through the inguinal canal, by the genital branch of thegenito-crural nerve and the inguinal branch of the ilio-inguinalnerve.

Fig. 177.—The Inguinal Canal. The canal has been laid open bysplitting the aponeurosis of the external oblique (A), which is grasped withthe artery forceps and drawn upward; CT, edge of the internal obliquemuscle (conjoined tendon); E, dotted line represents the course of the deepepigastric artery, which is located beneath the transversalis fascia; P,Pouparts ligament; TF, transversalis fascia, which forms the posterior wallof the inguinal canal; TL, triangular ligament, which is given off from theinner end of PouDarts. SURGICAL ANATOMY OF THE GROIN, ETC. 425 After tlie inguinal canal has been opened by splitting the apo-neurosis of the external oblique, the free, curved, fleshy edge of theinternal oblique is exposed to view. This muscle, the part seen here,arises from the outer half of Pouparts ligament. If the edge of thismuscle is raised and drawn upward and outward for a short distance,or incised, we expose the transversalis muscle, which lies beneath theinternal oblique. That p
