Ilioinguinal nerve

This video tutorial covers the ilioinguinal nerve, detailing its origin from the lumbar plexus, its anatomical path, and its motor and sensory functions. The nerve provides motor innervation to the transversus abdominis and internal oblique muscles and sensory innervation to the superior medial thigh and groin region. Clinical significance is discussed, highlighting potential damage during surgery or trauma, which can lead to conditions like inguinal hernia or chronic pain. Treatment options such as nerve blocks are mentioned. The video concludes with a call to explore more resources on Kenhub.
