Pectineal ligament
Encyclopedia
The pectineal ligament is an extension of the lacunar ligament
that runs on the pectineal line
of the pubic bone.
It was characterized by Cooper in 1804. The structure is strong and holds suture well, facilitating reconstruction of the floor of the inguinal canal. This variant of non-prosthetic inguinal hernia repair, first used by Lotheissen in Austria , now bears his name.
