Dissection of male inguinal region and spermatic cord
Falx inguinalis (continued); transversalis fascia
The spermatic cord (10) has been elevated from its normal position within the inguinal canal. All fascicles of the internal oblique muscle have been cut off, whereas the underlying transversus muscle has been kept intact. The transversalis fascia (9) and interfoveolar ligament (14) are visible in the depths of the dissection. These structures are exposed more completely in the following view (136-4).
