Which dermatome corresponds to the suprapubic region?

Explanation:
Dermatomal mapping of the lower abdominal wall shows that the skin over the suprapubic area is supplied by the L1 nerves. The L1 dermatome travels with the iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves, which run through the lower abdominal wall and provide sensation to the skin just above the pubis. The umbilicus is T10, and the L2 distribution covers the proximal anterior thigh, so the suprapubic region is specifically aligned with L1.
