Anatomy of the Anterior Abdominal Wall
Published in Jeff Garner, Dominic Slade, Manual of Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstruction, 2020
The inferior zone consists of the inferior portion of the abdominal wall. It has supply from the inferior epigastric and lumbar vessels which also supply the central and postero-lateral zones, respectively. This supply is supplemented by contributions from the aorta via the iliolumbar artery and the external iliac via the circumflex iliac artery, both of which supply the muscles of the inferior zone. The external pudendal, superficial inferior epigastric and superficial circumflex iliac vessels, all branches of the femoral artery, supply the overlying dermis of the inferior zone.

The internal iliac artery divides into anterior and posterior divisions (Figure 4.8). The branches that arise from the posterior division are the iliolumbar, sacral arteries, and the superior gluteal artery. The first branch to arise from the anterior division may be the iliolumbar artery. This aside, the umbilical artery (obliterated hypogastric vessel) is the first major branch, and it runs along the lateral pelvic wall then ascends toward the umbilicus giving rise to superior vesicular arteries and terminating as the medial umbilical ligament. This ligament raises a fold of peritoneum (medial umbilical fold), and identification of the umbilical ligament is very helpful in the preparation of the parametrium during radical hysterectomy.
Three-Dimensional in Vivo Anatomical Study of Female Iliac Vein Variations

Type III CIV variations showed bifurcation in the middle of the vein (1.42%, 23/1623), which was more common on the left side (82.61%, 19/23), and the difference was statistically significant. Among them, there were 2 cases of bifurcation in the middle of the left CIV (iliolumbar artery passing through the middle). One case had a bifurcation in the middle of the right CIV (a branch of the right common iliac artery passed through the middle).
