Anterior cutaneous branch of iliohypogastric nerve

Nerve: Anterior cutaneous branch of iliohypogastric nerve
Intercostal nerves, the superficial muscles having been removed.
Latin	ramus cutaneus anterior nervi iliohypogastrici
Gray's	subject #212 950
From	iliohypogastric nerve

The anterior cutaneous branch (hypogastric branch) continues onward between the Abdominal internal oblique (obliquus internus) and transverse (transversus) muscles.

It then pierces the obliquus internus, becomes cutaneous by perforating the aponeurosis of the obliquus externus about 2.5 cm. above the subcutaneous inguinal ring, and is distributed to the skin of the hypogastric region.
