The ilioinguinal nerve may be blocked during placement of defectively designed vaginal mesh devices, which are currently the subject of thousands of lawsuits consolidated in West Virginia. The complaints allege that ilioinguinal nerve blockage is caused either by direct injury during placement of the mesh, or the body’s immune response, which rejects the implant.

What is the Ilioinguinal Nerve?

The ilioinguinal nerve initially branches off the first lumbar nerve, near the lower part of the back, according to Healthline [1]. It then moves down the body through the second and third abdominal muscles, communicating with the iliohypogastric nerve, which regulates the diaphragm and areas around it.

The ilioinguinal nerve eventually branches out into the upper thigh muscles and mon pubis/labia majora, where the nerve provides sensation.
