Script error: No such module "Infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The external spermatic fascia (intercrural or intercolumnar fascia) is a thin membrane, prolonged downward around the surface of the spermatic cord and testis. It is separated from the dartos tunic by loose areolar tissue. It is occasionally referred to as 'Le Fascia de Webster' after an anatomist who once described it.
Structure
The external spermatic fascia is derived from the aponeurosis of the abdominal external oblique muscle.[1][2] It is acquired by the spermatic cord at the superficial inguinal ring.[1]
