“…The branching pattern described here resembles type III in the Balcerzak classi cation [12] because three main branches (AT, PT, ILA) exit the common trunk. However, certain nuances such as a superior vesical artery arising directly from the IIA instead of the anterior trunk, and two sacral lateral arteries, distinguish it signi cantly since none of them are considered in Balcerzak's system.…”

The ability to navigate the complex and often deceptive branching patterns of the internal iliac artery can be decisive in planning and performing surgeries within the lesser pelvis. The following case report presents a peculiar quadruple division of the internal iliac artery, accompanied by a venous anastomotic structure. Apart from the posterior and anterior trunks, the superior vesicle and iliolumbar arteries arose independently from the internal iliac artery. The division was surrounded by a venous oval, compressing certain branches and potentially complicating surgical access. Clinical significance of the case is discussed. Knowledge of this anatomical variation is significant for both diagnosis and surgery.Level of Evidence – II Basic Science Research

“…One of the most popular and clinically-viable classifications is the one proposed by Adachi (1928) [2]. Since its creation, it served as a base for many other researchers such as Ashley and Anson (1941) [3], Al Talalwah and Soames (2014) [4] and Balcerzak (2021) [5] who have updated and improved upon it. Despite the recent creation of new and extensive systems of classification, many case reports present extreme and unique variations not included in any paper to date.…”

“…Surgical resection of any pelvic organs requires adequate exposure for isolation and resection. Moreover, to assure adequate hemostasis, extensive knowledge of the vascular anatomy is essential 1 2. Separation of the organs is possible by developing natural areolar areas along the respective septums found between pelvic organs.…”

ObjectivesThe surgical management of gynecological malignancies involves the development of spaces and division of structures attaching the genital tract to other pelvic organs and to the pelvic sidewall. Definition, description, and denomination of these components are heterogeneous and may not be consistent with the anatomical nomenclature. The purpose of this article is to propose a simplified nomenclature of surgical anatomy of the female pelvis.MethodsWe performed dissection of fresh cadavers at the anatomy laboratory of the University of the Sacred Heart, Rome, Italy. Dissections were designed to illustrate surgical concepts developed by the first author. All authors agreed a consensus on the description and denomination of the nomenclature.ResultsThe nomenclature system results in a simplified nomenclature, purely descriptive, avoiding eponyms, designed to be used by surgeons, teachers, staff members, and trainees.ConclusionsSimplification of the anatomical description of the female pelvis is crucial to standardize operative reports in clinical practice.
