The spermatic cord is the cord-like structure in males formed by the vas deferens (ductus deferens) and surrounding tissue that runs from the deep inguinal ring down to each testicle. Its serosal covering, the tunica vaginalis, is an extension of the peritoneum that passes through the transversalis fascia.

Structure

The spermatic cord is ensheathed in three layers of tissue:

external spermatic fascia, an extension of the innominate fascia that overlies the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle
cremasteric muscle and fascia, formed from a continuation of the internal oblique muscle and its fascia
internal spermatic fascia, continuous with the transversalis fascia

Function

Arteries: testicular artery, deferential artery, cremasteric artery
Nerves: nerve to cremaster (genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve), testicular nerves (sympathetic nerves) and the ilio-inguinal nerve- Ilio-inguinal nerve not inside spermatic cord, but runs along the outside.
Vas deferens (ductus deferens)
Pampiniform plexus
Lymphatic vessels
Tunica vaginalis (remains of the processus vaginalis)

The pampiniform plexus, testicular artery, artery of the ductus deferens, lymphatic vessels, testicular nerves, and ductus deferens all run deep to the internal spermatic fascia.^[1] The genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve,^[1] cremasteric artery, and ilioinguinal nerve all run on the superficial surface of the external spermatic fascia.

Clinical significance

The spermatic cord is sensitive to torsion, in which the testicle rotates within its sac and blocks its own blood supply. Testicular torsion may result in irreversible damage to the testicle within hours. A collection of serous fluid in the spermatic cord is named 'funiculocele'.

The contents of the abdominal cavity may protrude into the inguinal canal, producing an indirect inguinal hernia.

Varicose veins of the spermatic cord are referred to as varicocele. Though often asymptomatic, about one in four people with varicocele have negatively affected fertility.^[2]

Inguinal herniation of the transplant ureter is rare, and there is a paucity of reports in the literature. Herniation is usually secondary to implanting a long redundant ureter and may be precipitated by its course over the spermatic cord. Most often, there is loss of the allograft owing to delayed
