[Clinical approach to trauma-related internal iliac artery pseudoaneurysms (two connected cases)].
Penetrating injuries to abdomen and especially deep gluteal injuries causes vascular and non vascular injuries which necessitates emergency surgery. Surgical management of the penetrating injuries is very difficult, especially exploration of the gluteal region is very difficult. Management of the injury of iliac artery branches is extremely difficult. Two cases with penetrating injury to the gluteal region in 1998 and 2000 one was operated on urgently and the other was operated on electively. Coil embolization was tried to be performed for elective case but intervention was unsuccessful. In both cases internal iliac artery was ligated and aneurysm was repaired. There were no complications in postoperative period. In postoperative angiographic controls, aneurysm in the internal iliac artery was regressed and there were no vascular complications at this region such as hematoma. Penetrating injuries at gluteal region causes injury to the internal iliac artery branches which seriously necessitates emergency management, internal iliac artery ligation and repair.
