ILIAC

However, more recent work about using the PEG/PBT as a bone substimte in critical size defects in the iliac bone of goats and humans did not show the expected good bone-bonding and calcification behaviors. Reasons for the discrepancy with the earlier results in small animals may be caused by the differences in regenerative capacity between the species, the size of the defect, and the type of bone into which the substitute was implanted.

Most kidney transplant procedures are heterotopic, where the kidney is implanted above the pelvic bone and attached to the patient s iliac artery and vein. The ureter of the transplant kidney is attached directly to the recipient s bladder or native ureter. The native kidneys usually are not removed, and data have shown that under most circumstances, removal of the native kidneys does not influence patient survival and allograft survival. Special circumstances, however, such as renal cell carcinoma and PCKD, may necessitate native kidney removal.1,3 There were 16,477 (9914 deceased donors, 6563 living donors) kidney transplants and 903 simultaneous kidney-pancreas procedures done in 2005.3...

Autologous hematopoietic stem cells are obtained (or harvested ) from bone marrow or peripheral blood. The technique for harvesting autologous hematopoietic cells depends on the anatomic source (i.e., bone marrow or peripheral blood). A surgical procedure is necessary for obtaining bone marrow. Multiple aspirations of marrow are obtained from the anterior and posterior iliac crests until a volume with a sufficient number of hematopoietic cells is collected (i.e., 600-1200 mL of bone marrow). The bone marrow then is processed to remove fat or marrow emboli and usually is infused intravenously into the patient like a blood transfusion. 

WC, the most practical method of characterizing central adiposity, is the narrowest circumference between the last rib and top of the iliac crest. 

Severe pain in the loin lasting several hours and which is recurring requires referral to investigate underlying cause. One of the systems that need to be investigated is the renal system. Pain originating from kidney disorders and renal colic (renal calculi) initially presents with loin pain and may radiate to the back or spread downwards to the iliac fossa, suprapubic area and in males into the scrotum. 

Give by intermittent IV injection, continuous IV infusion or deep subcutaneous (ie, above the iliac crest of abdominal fat layer) injection. Continuous IV infusion is generally preferable due to the higher incidence of bleeding complications with other routes. Avoid IM injection because of the danger of hematoma formation.

There are many different procedures used for pancreas transplantation, and there is no one standard protocol used in all transplant centers. The important considerations, however, are that the arterial blood flow supply to the pancreas and duodenal segment, and venous outflow from the pancreas via the portal vein should be adequate. The recipient s right common or external iliac artery is used to restore vascularization of the artery in the pancreas. The Y graft of the tissue is anastomosed end-to-side and the venous vascularization is performed either systemically or portally, but mostly it is done with systemic venous drainage.

The blood supply to the vagina is through the uterine arteries and the internal iliac artery. Blood returns to the venous system through veins that empty into the internal iliac vein. Lymphatic drainage is through the external and internal iliac lymph nodes and superficial inguinal lymph nodes.
