“…In all studies, location of base varied from 4 th Sacral Vertebra to Coccyx. In our study, base was seen most commonly against 5 th Sacral Vertebra in 93% cases, which is similar to the study conducted by Parashuram R [7] (93.3%) of cases. In present study, incidence of Base at 5 th Sacral vertebra is much higher in comparison to 72.6%…”

“…In 3% of Sacra (1 male and two female ), shape of the Sacral Hiatus was like a dumbbell, which was very low compared to previous authors like Nagar S K [4] in 36 (13.3%), Suma HY et al [5] in (12.3%) and Kumar V et al [6] in 14 (7.43%). Bifid Sacral Hiatus was seen in 4% (4 male Sacra only) which was similar to that reported by Nagar SK [4] and Parashuram R [7]. Irregular shaped Sacral Hiatus were present in 5% of male and 3% of female Sacra.…”

“…Apex was located against 4 th Sacral Vertebra in most of the studies including ours with the incidence ranging from 60 to 76% [4,5,6,7]. In our study Apex was located at 4 th Sacral Vertebra in 73% (38 male and 35 female), which was almost similar to study done by Parashuram R [7] in 140 (72.2%) numbers of Sacra. This incidence was lower in study done by Nagar SK [4] (55.9%) and Sekiguchi M et al [8] (65%).…”

The present study was carried out on 100 dry sacra to evaluate the different morphometrical variations of Sacral Hiatus according to sex among the population of west Bengal. Materials and Methods: The different parameters of 100 Sacrum (50 male, 50 female) were studied by naked eye observation and measured with the help of Martin's callipers. Observation and results: The most common shape of Sacral Hiatus was Inverted-U shaped, followed by Inverted-V shaped. The apex was most commonly present at the level of 4 th Sacral segment and the base of the Sacral Hiatus was present most commonly against the body of 5 th Sacral segment. The mean length of the Sacral Hiatus of male Sacra was 19.86mm, whereas that of female Sacra was 21.12 mm. Conclusion: No significant sexual dimorphism exists considering all the parameters of Sacral Hiatus. There are anatomical variations in the shape and level of the Sacral Hiatus which may lead to failure of caudal anaesthesia.

“…For a successful CEB intervention, a fundamental knowledge of the anatomy of the sacral hiatus is a prerequisite. 13 However, the considerable anatomical variations of the SH may make its identification difficult. 17 A sacral approach to the epidural space is used for giving analgesia and anaesthesia for a variety of operations.…”

Background The sacral hiatus is an opening present at the lower end of the sacral canal. The anatomy of the sacral hiatus and its variations are clinically important during administration of caudal epidural block (CEB) in obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedic, urology and general surgical practices. The success and reliability of CEB depends upon the sound knowledge of anatomical variations of the sacral hiatus. Objective The aim of this study was to assess the morphological and morphometric variation of the sacral hiatus in dry human sacrum. Methods An institution-based observational cross-sectional study design was conducted to assess morphological and morphometric variations of the sacral hiatus in 61 dry human sacrum specimens at the anatomy departments of Gondar, Addis Ababa, Hawassa and Jimma universities and Hayat and Korea Medical Colleges in Addis Ababa. Descriptive analysis was applied to analyze the data. Results The most commonly recorded shape of the sacral hiatus is inverted-V (41%) followed by inverted-U (37.7%). The least common was complete bifida (1.6%). The apex of the sacral hiatus is mostly seen at the level of the 4th sacral vertebra (60.7%), while the base is commonly located at the level of the 5th sacral vertebra (78.7%). The mean length of the sacral hiatus is 22.67 ± 11.84 mm. The mean transverse width and mean anteroposterior diameter of the sacral hiatus at the apex are 13.14 mm ± 2.85 mm and 5.57 mm ± 1.53 mm, respectively. Conclusion The sacral hiatus has anatomical variations. These variations should be kept in mind during administration of caudal epidural anesthesia and analgesia.
