“…For example, based on the literature (1-5), the PSA might pose a hazard during orthopedic manipulation, hip joint surgery and transplant surgery; the PSA is also at risk for aneurysm. The present case also strengthens the view that dissection in the anatomy curriculum can be of great value and can have a pivotal influence on the ongoing debate about its efficacy (6).…”

The sciatic artery - a rare finding on autopsy - and continuation of the inferior gluteal artery has been reported previously. On a routine dissection, bilateral persistent sciatic arteries were found in both thighs of a female cadaver. This provided evidence that the sciatic artery follows the sciatic nerve, supplies the back of the thigh and finally joins the popliteal artery near the knee. The profunda femoris artery was completely absent bilaterally. The present report strengthens the view that the sciatic artery plays a major role in supplying blood to the lower limbs in utero and its existence after birth may have significant clinical importance.

“…But 53% (question 11) also said that they think that the ''skill'' of dissection could have strengthened their knowledge of anatomy. Whether dissection is advantageous to the learning of anatomy is debatable (Moore, 1998;Aziz et al, 2002;Wong and Tay, 2005;Ganguly and Sanii, 2006), but it seems that some students are still interested in dissection. We are, however, of the opinion that the use of plastinated prosected specimens, radiological materials, and live subjects can allow students to learn anatomy in the most relevant way since it allows them to have a firm grasp of the 3D nature of human anatomy, to relate anatomy to radiological imaging, and to relate anatomy to clinical studies.…”

Although there are a number of medical schools in the Caribbean islands, very few reports have come out so far in the literature regarding the efficacy of small-group teaching in them. The introduction of small-group teaching in the gross anatomy laboratory one and a half years ago at St. Matthew's University (SMU) on Grand Cayman appears to have had a significant positive impact on the academic achievement of students in anatomy. This study surveyed the responses of the students to the small-group learning method in gross anatomy at SMU using a structured questionnaire. The results show that our students prefer this small-group learning method over a completely self-directed method in the gross anatomy lab because the study materials were carefully chosen and the study objectives were demonstrated by the resource person. However, teacher-centered teaching was deliberately avoided by fostering problem-solving skills in the anatomy lab sessions. Another aim of the small-group teaching at SMU was to develop the interpersonal and communication skills of the students, which are important in their later education and career.
