Anatomical Variants of Obturator Artery in Human Cadavers among North Karnataka Subjects
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Context: Normally Obturator Artery arising from anterior division of internal iliac artery. It supplies perineum and pelvic organs. The enlightenment and proper knowledge of the obturator artery of its origin, course will provide the surgeon proper guidelines of the artery during various surgical procedure. Hence the present study was been undertaken with reference to their surgical significance. Aims: To study the origin and course of obturator artery in human cadaveric specimen. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Raichur Institute of Medical Sciences for duration of 2year from April 2015 to April 2017. In the present study, 30 dissected hemi pelvic specimens of both male and female formalin fixed cadavers were taken. The origin and course of obturator were traced along with noting down the variations in them. Results: In the present study, Obturator artery arising from anterior division of internal iliac artery was noted in 14 cases, 5 cases from inferior epigastric artery, 4 cases from external iliac artery and it also arising from the common trunk of anterior division of internal iliac artery in 7 cases. Conclusion: Anatomical data obtained about variations in origin of obturator artery is of importance for surgeons and radiologists for procedures in reconstructive surgeries involving in the groin.
