INTRODUCTION: Vascular injury may be encountered during an anterior approach to the pelvis or acetabulum-be it due to hematoma decompression, clot dislodgement during fracture manipulation, or iatrogenic. This can be associated with significant bleeding, hemodynamic instability, and subsequent morbidity. If the exact source of bleeding cannot be easily identified, compression of the internal iliac artery may be a lifesaving procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We describe an extension of the lateral window of the ilioinguinal (or Olerud) approach elaborated on cadavers. RESULTS: The approach allows emergent access the internal iliac artery and intraoperative cross-clamping of the internal iliac vessels to control bleeding. CONCLUSION: The approach allows rapid access to the internal iliac artery. The surgeon should be familiar, however, with the surgical anatomy of this region to avoid potential injury to the ureter, peritoneum, lymphatics, and sympathetic nerves overlying the vessels when using the approach described. |
