 femoral vessels lying within sheath ; femoral canal has been artificially distended.

Transversaiis muscle has been partially cutaway to expose transversaiis fascia; sper- 

 matic cord is seen issuing from internal abdominal ring, covered by infundibuliform fascia, 

 which has been artificially distended ; anterior layer of femoral sheath has been removed 

 showing femoral vessels and canal ; anterior wall of sheath of rectus has been opened above 

 upper part of muscle removed and posterior wall of sheath exposed.
