ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Lumbar plexus is one of the main nervous pathways supplying the lower limb which is bound to show variations. Surgeons should be aware of these variations to avoid possible injuries to the structure and their consequences. This study was conducted to observe the formation of Iliohypogastric nerve and Ilioinguinal nerve
Material and methods: Dissection of 40 bilateral lumbar plexuses from formalin fixed adult human cadavers procured from department of anatomy JJMMC Davangere.
Results: Many significant variations were found in the anatomy of the iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerve.
Conclusion: Knowledge of the variations in the branching pattern and formation of the lumbar plexus is essential to prevent nerve injury during routine surgical procedures like inguinal hernia surgery, low transverse incision of gynecological procedures.
Key words: Anatomical Variations, Ilioinguinal nerve, Iliohypogastric nerve, lumbar plexus.
