Thefemoral artery, also known as the common femoral artery, is the direct continuation of the externaliliac artery. It enters the femoral triangle behind the inguinal ligament, midway between the anterior superior iliac spine and thesymphysis pubis. The femoral triangle is bounded by the inguinal l...
2 Femoral injury may also occur following surgery or procedures at the femoral triangle, such as vascular catheterization. Diagnosis of a femoral neuropathy is largely based on the clinical examination, showing sensory and motor deficits limited to this nerve. Weakness of hip flexion is a key ...
Each intersection was overlaid up to the axial CT images to determine the coronal location of the ASTA boundaries.Results: Each ASTA presented an inclined rounded triangle with a flat anterior base coincided with AC-FNB. There were significant sex differences in D-SI (male: 33.6±2.3 vs. ...
The femoral triangle is an anatomical triangle in the upper one-third of the anterior aspect of the thigh. It contains the femoral vessels and nerve, as well as lymph nodes. The boundaries of this triangle are as follows: • Superior boundary: Inguinal ligament ...

This chapter describes the diagnosis of femoral swelling. Femoral swelling means swelling in Scarpa's triangle. The boundaries of this triangle are definite on paper, but in a fat patient they may be difficult to identify. Nevertheless two landmarks, the spine of the pubis and the anterior ...
WHEN PERFORMING LAPAROSCOPIC REPAIR, THE SURGEON MUST BE COGNIZANT OF THE LOCATION OF THE VAS DEFERENS AND SPERMATIC VESSELS TO AVOID INJURY TO THE EXTERNAL ILIAC VESSELS AND FEMORAL NERVE IN THE “TRIANGLE OF DOOM.” POSTOPERATIVE COURSE Inguinal hernia repairs are generally performed on an outpatie...
In the thigh, the femoral nerve lies within the femoral triangle. The femoral triangle is an anatomical triangle in the upper one-third of the anterior aspect of the thigh. It contains the femoral vessels and nerve, as well as lymph nodes. The boundaries of this triangle are as follows: ...
EL was done using a 3-trocar approach starting from the tip of the femoral triangle. Lymph node dissection was done with respect to the same boundaries as in open surgery. We apply a reduced CO2-pressure of only 5 mmHg to reduce skin emphysema and CO2 absorption. A suction drain was ...
