The pectineal ligament (sometimes known as the inguinal ligament of Cooper[1], after Astley Cooper) is an extension of the lacunar ligament that runs on the pectineal line of the pubic bone.
It was characterized by Cooper in 1804.[2][3] 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 [4], now bears his name.
