classification

(1) The superior gluteal nerve is accompanied by the upper gluteal arteries and veins, and the pelvic cavity exits from the piriformis foramen, runs between the middle gluteal muscle and the small gluteal muscle, and then accompanies the deep branch of the superior gluteal artery to control the buttocks. Middle, gluteal and fascia lata. Gluteal nerve

Gluteal nerve

(B) The inferior gluteal nerve is accompanied by the inferior gluteal arteries and veins, and penetrates through the inferior foramen piriformis, dominating the gluteus maximus.
(3) Posterior femoral cutaneous nerve exits the pelvic cavity through the piriformis inferior foramen. See the superficial structure of the posterior femur for details.
(4) The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the whole body, and most of them exit from the pelvis to the buttocks with a trunk through the piriformis foramen. On the deep side of the gluteus maximus, the midpoint of the line connecting the greater trochanter with the ischial tuberosity descends to the back of the femur.
There are many types of relationships between the sciatic nerve and the piriformis when it exits from the pelvic cavity. Sometimes the sciatic nerve is divided into two parts, namely the common peroneal nerve and the tibial nerve, one passing through the piriformis and the other out of the piriformis. Or usually piriformis, another piriformis or piriformis, or a piercing piriformis, because the whole or part of the nerve passes through the piriformis and is compressed by the muscle The effects can sometimes show symptoms of nerve compression.
(5) Pudendal nerve emerges from the piriformis foramen and accompanies the internal pudendal artery through the foramen to the sciatic rectal fossa. It is distributed on the perineum skin and other structures.
