Internal iliac artery (IIA) is one of the terminal branches of the common iliac artery and is the prime artery of pelvis. The artery has many parietal and visceral branches and hence the variations are frequently noted. The larger branches, namely, the inferior gluteal artery, the superior gluteal artery, and the internal pudendal artery, show sufficient regularity in their patterns of origin to allow typing. The variability of the IIA and its branching pattern were studied by dissecting sixty-eight male pelvic halves (34 right and 34 left) and forty-eight female pelvic halves (24 right and 24 left sides). In significant number of specimens, IIA terminated without dividing into 2 trunks as against the usual description. There was also considerable interchange of branches between the 2 terminal divisions. The patterns of branching noted were grouped as per Adachi’s classification. The incidence was noted to be as follows: type Ia in 60.6%, type Ib in 2.6%, type IIa in 15.8%, and type III in 21%. The other types were not observed in this study. Conclusion. Interventions in the pelvic region must take into account the variability of the IIA and its branches that can modify the expected relations and may lead to undesired hemorrhagic or embolic accidents.

The variations in blood vessels are common and have long received the attention of anatomists and surgeons. The true pelvic cavity usually refers to that part of pelvis, which has its bony walls, the sacrum and lower part of hip bone. This small area is well covered by bones and has important structures namely the pelvic viscera, pelvic floor muscles, vessels and nerves supplying it. The aim of the study was to know the branching pattern of internal iliac artery based on the Adachis classification, along with length and thickness of artery. The internal iliac artery was traced from its origin, course, branching pattern, length and thickness of the trunk of internal iliac artery was measured by using digital vernier calliper from its point of origin to bifurcation into anterior and posterior division. The length of right & left internal iliac artery ranged from 2.4 cm to 5.4 cm with average length of 3.943cm ± 0.859cm, whereas the length of left internal iliac artery ranged from 2.7cm to 4.7cm with average length of 3.610cm ± 0.626cm. Bilateral ligation of internal iliac artery is helpful in controlling postpartum haemorrhage. Applying ligatures on an anomalous blood vessel may lead to alarming haemorrhage. The most ideal point of ligation of internal iliac artery would be distal to its posterior division, since proximal ligation has been associated with buttock claudication and necrosis. Knowledge regarding the internal iliac artery and its branches is helpful in applying ligatures safely during pelvic surgeries.

Objetivo: Estudiar el patrón de ramificación de la arteria ilíaca interna del feto y que son equivalentes a la disposición de las ramas ilíacas internas en los adultos. Métodos: Veinticuatro mitades de pelvis fueron utilizados como muestras. Que se obtuvieron de fetos nacidos muertos, de 5 a 9 meses de edad gestacional. Resultados: la arteria ilíaca interna está en consonancia con la arteria ilíaca común y más grande que la arteria ilíaca externa. Tres tipos de ramificación se observaron sobre la base de las grandes ramas, a saber, la arteria glútea inferior, la arteria pudenda interna y la arteria glútea superior. Los resultados se correlacionaron con los patrones de ramificación descriptos por Piersol (1930). Conclusión: La disposición más común, tenía dos grandes troncos procedentes de la arteria iliaca interna, la posterior era la arteria glútea superior y la anterior se dividía en arterias pudenda y glútea inferior. Los otros patrones conducen variables en los adultos que son de importancia embriológicos y quirúrgicos. Objective: To study the branching pattern of fetal internal iliac artery and to correlate with the arrangement of the internal iliac branches in adults. Methods: Twenty four pelvic halves were used as specimens. They were obtained from the dead born fetuses of 5 to 9 months of gestational age. Results: Internal iliac artery was in line with the common iliac artery and larger than the external iliac artery.  Three types of branching were observed based on the large branches namely inferior gluteal artery, internal pudendal artery and superior gluteal artery. The findings were correlated with the patterns of branching described by Piersol (1930). Conclusion: The most common arrangement had two large trunks originating from internal iliac artery, the posterior one being superior gluteal artery and the anterior one divided into internal pudendal and inferior gluteal arteries. The other patterns lead to variable branching patterns in adults that are of embryological and surgical significance.
