Material Detail

Educational Video created by Dr. Sanjoy Sanyal; Professor, Department Chair, Surgeon, Neuroscientist and Medical Informatician in the Western Hemisphere.

It shows the surgical anatomy of the Gluteal Region and Back of Thigh. The specimen was harvested from a cadaver. With 2 kilos of fat to be removed, not to speak of dealing with friable muscles, it required some doing, erector spinae strain notwithstanding!

It shows the Gluteus maximus, medius, minimus, Piriformis, Obturator internus, Gemellus, Quadratus femoris, tensor fascia, sciatic nerve, gluteal nerve, Pudendal nerve, Sacrotuberous ligament, Sacrospinous ligament, Ischial spine, Ischial tuberosity, Greater trochanter. Piriformis syndrome and Sciatica are described. This video shows you the nerve that is involved.

With real-time narration and relevant captions, it enhances the learning experience by means of a tri-modal learning style approach - Visual, Auditory, Textual. Camerapersons were Jenee Glover and others, using their own and my outdated camera.
