  2. External iliac artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_iliac_artery

    It passes down along the brim of the pelvis and gives off two large branches - the "inferior epigastric artery" and a "deep circumflex artery." These vessels supply blood to the muscles and skin in the lower abdominal wall. The external iliac artery passes beneath the inguinal ligament in the lower part of the abdomen and becomes the femoral ...

  3. Femoral artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_artery

    The femoral artery represents the continuation of the external iliac artery beyond the inguinal ligament underneath which the vessel passes [2] to enter the thigh. [3] The vessel passes under the inguinal ligament just medial of the midpoint of this ligament, [ 2 ] midway between the anterior superior iliac spine and the symphysis pubis (mid ...

  4. Mid-inguinal point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-inguinal_point

    The external iliac artery becomes the femoral artery when it passes deep to the inguinal ligament, at the mid-inguinal point. As such, the point is along the superior boundary of the femoral triangle.

  5. Femoral vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_vein

    The great saphenous vein (a superficial vein), and the deep femoral vein drain into the femoral vein in the femoral triangle when it becomes known as the common femoral vein. It ends at the inferior margin of the inguinal ligament where it becomes the external iliac vein. [1] Its major tributaries are the deep femoral vein, and the great ...

    Femoral branch of the genitofemoral nerve - occupies the lateral compartment of the femoral sheath along with femoral artery. It supplies the skin over the femoral triangle.

  9. Triangle of Doom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_of_Doom

    This triangle contains external iliac artery and vein, the deep circumflex iliac vein, the genital branch of genitofemoral nerve and hidden by fascia, the femoral nerve. It bears significance in laparoscopic repair of groin hernia. Surgical staples are avoided here. Similarly, the Triangle of Pain is an important landmark in laproscopic surgery.
