Abstract
Objective: To study prevalence and variant anatomy of the corona mortis vessels in a black African population in relation to side and gender. Methodology: Forty embalmed hemipelvices obtained from the Department of Human Anatomy at Moi University were used for this descriptive cross sectional study. The cadavers were dissected at the preperitoneal area of the abdominal wall from inside to look for corona mortis. Chi-Square test was used to compare the incidence of the corona mortis between males and females. The level of significant difference used was p 0.05). Conclusion: In pelvic and acetabular surgery, the corona mortis must be ligated or clipped to advance the dissection further along the pelvic brim and quadrilateral surface during the modified Stoppa approach which enables access to the anterior wall, anterior column, and associated anterior column and posterior hemitransverse fractures, as well as certain both-column, T-shaped, and transverse fractures
