Sciatic notch tumors are rare and have numerous etiologies. Tumor presentation varies widely and no uniform recommendations exist for approaching resection. Most studies on the topic have been small case series, with the approach dictated by surgeon experience and comfort. We provide an overview of surgical approaches for resecting sciatic notch tumors reported in the literature, as well as a conceptual framework for application of these approaches based on standard oncologic principles. The advantages and disadvantages of each approach are described on the basis of anatomic location of the tumor. For tumors that span the notch with intra- and extra-pelvic extension, notchplasty is a novel technique that provides superior visualization and access for en-bloc excision.

Endometriosis is described as the proliferation of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. This most frequently occurs within the pelvis and is a common cause of chronic pelvic pain in women of reproductive age. Rarely, endometriosis can manifest outside of the pelvis and can uncommonly involve the musculoskeletal and peripheral nervous systems.

The greater sciatic, lesser sciatic and obturator foramina are openings in the pelvis through which pelvic lesions can herniate, leading to the formation of rare dumbbell tumours. We present the case of a man in his late 60s, who presented with obstructed defecation. A per rectal examination revealed a palpable right sided rectal mass.

The perianal abscess is a common emergency surgical presentation. While in most cases simple drainage suffices, occasionally the abscess can track deeply presenting a management challenge. We describe the case of a complex circumferential horseshoe ischioanal abscess with extension below the levator ani through the greater sciatic notch and into the left gluteal region, with the collection involving the intergluteal space and gluteus maximus.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is triggered by clinically recommended chemotherapeutics. Topical capsaicin (CAP) is a US-FDA-approved therapeutic entity for the mitigation of CIPN. Besides good skin permeation efficiency, CAP concentration in a topical dermal dosage form must be controlled due to its dose-dependent therapeutic and adverse effects.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the challenge of determining gender from pelvic bones, particularly through the analysis of the greater sciatic notch, which is resilient to trauma.
- Researchers examined 70 dry unidentified pelvic bones, measuring various features of the greater sciatic notch to classify the bones as male or female.
- Results indicated significant differences in measurements between genders, confirming the usefulness of these parameters for accurate gender determination in forensic contexts.
