Abstract

Background: Being the body's widest nerve the sciatic nerve gives two major Tibial and Common Peroneal components branches that form the nerve supply of the gluteal and posterior thigh region. They come from the ventral rami of the lumbosacral plexus' L4 to S3 spinal nerves. Underneath the Piriformis muscle, it leaves the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen and travels to the knee in the back of the leg. This research aims to recognize the variations in the sciatic nerve's branching structure. Methods: Sixty lower limb specimens from Thirty formalin-fixed cadavers (26 male and 4 female) were used in the investigation (52 Male & 8 Female). To reveal the sciatic nerve, the gluteal area and posterior compartment of the thigh were dissected. We observed and documented variations in the piriformis muscle's proximity to the sciatic nerve bifurcation
