You're so right! Yes, in surgical hernial repair, there are 2 Nerves that can be damaged: 1)Iliohypogastric:arrow: ipsilateral abdominal wall anesthesia 2)Ilioinguinal :arrow: anesthesia to ipsi penis, scrotum, medial thigh.

It's not inside the spermatic cord; it's inside the inguinal canal together with the spermatic cord.
