The muscle originates from the anterior surface of the body of the pubis and pubic symphysis. Through the tendinous fibers, PM is fixed in the anterior part of the pubis and through the ligamentous fibers; it is attached to the pubic symphysis. Inferiorly PM has a broad base, as it ascends, the muscle becomes slender and gets inserted medially into linea alba. Insertion of muscle takes place halfway between the umbilicus and pubis. It is believed that the action of the PM contracts the linea alba and strengthens the abdominal wall. 2 , 3 On the other hand, its absence does not tend to result in a functional loss. 4 As a result, authors believe it is a vestigial muscle left behind from the pouches of marsupials and monotremes. 5 Myotomes of the lower thoracic region migrate to the ventral part of the abdomen forming a pair of mesodermal primordium which further differentiate into fleshy bellies of the anterior abdominal wall in the prenatal period. 6 The literature regarding the embryogenesis of the pyramidalis muscle is scarce however, pyramidalis muscle is linked phylogenetically to the pouch inside monotremes like - hedgehog and the platypus and marsupials like - the koala or kangaroo. 7 With the evolution of the human, the pouch is responsible for the variation in the morphology and prevelance of the PM. 7 In primates and prosimians, the contraction of the pyramidalis muscle help in the expression of milk from the mammary gland. However due to the regression of supernumerary nipples in humans, pyramidalis muscle lost its importance and considered vestigial. 7 In humans, the PM has been linked to the assumption of upright posture. 8 The PM flap can be used to treat tiny intractable lesions in the foot and ankle, such as chemical wounds and prolonged osteomyelitis. 4 The PM, when cryopreserved, can be used as a source of stem cells that can then be employed to treat post-prostatectomy stress urinary incontinence. 9 When performing a longitudinal incision for a standard caesarean section, the PM was used to locate the linea alba and midline. 10 The morphometric study on PM in the south Indian adult human population is less studied. So this study aimed to explore the various parameters of PM in adult cadavers. Methods Ethical approval The protocol was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC-617/2021) Kasturba Medical College and Kasturba Hospitals, Manipal on September 15, 2021. Written informed consent was given by the body donors for teaching and research when they were alive. Study design and data collection In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 31 adult cadavers of both sexes (26 males and five females) were utilized from the Department of Anatomy at Kasturba Medical College (KMC), Manipal for morphometric measurements. Data were collected between October 1 st , 2021 to April 30 th , 2022, for a period of six months. Available cadavers in the department were used for the study purpose with the sample size 31. It was a convenient sampling approach. Specimens with damage to the anterior abdominal wall were not considered for the study. With the surgical instruments, cadavers were dissected and muscles were exposed. The following parameters were measured using a vernier caliper: • Length of muscle from the pubic symphysis to its attachment to linea alba (apex) along its medial border ( Figure 1 ). • Width at the base/origin of the muscle ( Figure 1 ). • The thickness of the muscle at the midpoint of the measured length. • A small gap was found in few cadavers between right and left PM. The length and breadth of this gap were measured ( Figure 2 ). • Distance between the umbilicus and pubic symphysis (DUP) and distance between the umbilicus and apex of the muscle (DUA) ( Figure 3 ). • Distance between the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and lateral part of the base of the muscle (LBM) ( Figure 4 ). • Distance between ASIS to apex of the muscle ( Figure 4 ). • Distance between ASIS and the pubic symphysis (ASIS-PS) ( Figure 4 ).

Showing: Distance between the anterior superior iliac spine to the lateral part of the base of the muscle (ASIS-LBM); Distance between ASIS to tip of the muscle (ASIS-TIP); Distance between ASIS and Pubic symphysis (ASIS-PS); ASIS-anterior superior iliac spine; LBM-lateral part of the base of the muscle; PS-pubic symphysis; U-umbilicus. All the dimensions were completed by the same researcher to avoid inter observer variation. Data analysis Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, and range) were done for all measured parameters. To compare the right and left of each continuous variable, paired T-test was performed. P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. The normally distributed data were correlated using Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis under the following combinations: i) Right and left PM length; ii) Right and left PM width; iii) Right PM length and right PM width; iv) Left PM length and left PM width; v) DUP and PM length (R and L); vi) DUP and PM width (R and L); vii) ASIS-PS (R) and PM width (R); viii) ASIS-PS (L) and PM width (L); ix) ASIS-PS (R) and PM length (R); and x) ASIS-PS (L) and PM length (L). SPSS (RRID:SCR_002865) version 16.0 (Chicago, SPSS Inc.) was utilized for data analysis. Results Morphometric measurements Descriptive statistics The length of the right PM ranged from 40–95 mm and the left PM ranged from 38–100 mm. The mean length of the right PM was 64.44 ± 12.52 mm and the left PM was 64.73 ± 12.81 mm. There was a 1–2 mm difference between the length of the right and left PM. The width of the right PM and left PM ranged from 8–24 mm and 9–22 mm, respectively. The mean width of the right PM and left PM was 15 ± 4.18 mm and 15.03 ± 3.52 mm, respectively. The PM thickness ranged from 0.5–2 mm on both sides. The mean thickness of muscle on the right side was 1.32 ± 0.55 mm and 1.4 ± 0.80 mm on the left side. In 18 cadavers, a triangular gap was observed between right and left PM. Its length ranged from 8–26 mm and its width ranged from 5–17 mm. Descriptive statistics of the remaining parameters are tabulated in Table 1 . 16 Table 1. Overview of descriptive statistics calculated in adult cadavers (mm). Variables Mean ± Standard deviation Range Length (R) 64.44 ± 12.52 40–95 Length (L) 64.73 ± 12.81 38–100 Width (R) 15 ± 4.18 8–24 Width (L) 15.03 ± 3.52 9–22 Thickness (R) 1.32 ± 0.55 0.5–2 Thickness (L) 1.4 ± 0.80 0.5–4 Length of the triangular gap * 17.33 ± 5.30 8–26 Breadth of the triangular gap * 10.05 ± 3.60 5–17 ASIS - LBM (R) 122.5 ± 10.41 104–149 ASIS - LBM (L) 120.75 ± 8.00 105–138 ASIS - Apex (R) 118.25 ± 10.75 100–148 ASIS - Apex (L) 114.55 ± 12.16 94–144 ASIS - PS (R) 139.81 ± 7.74 122–158 ASIS - PS (L) 140.81 ± 7.10 128–152 DUA 97.48 ± 14.33 72–123 DUP 159.77 ± 15.36 130–192 * Length of the triangular gap as shown in Figure 2 ; width of the triangular gap as shown in Figure 2 . Paired T-test A paired T-test was used to compare all the right and left dependent variables. ASIS-Apex (R) and ASIS-Apex (L) were significantly different from each other since the p-value was 0.0014. There was no significant difference between the two respective groups of other dependent variables. Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis was done since the data were distributed normally. A significant positive correlation was observed between right and left PM length and right and left PM width. The above result suggests that the increase in length or width of the right PM was directly proportional to the length/width of left PM. Correlation analysis between right PM length and width and left PM length and width showed a weak but positive correlation. From this, we can note that as the length of the muscle increases, the width of the muscle may or may not increase. A weak correlation was observed when DUP and ASIS-PS was compared with the right and left PM length and width. From this, we can conclude that the DUP and ASIS-PS have negligible effects on the length and width of the PM. The correlation coefficient and its level, analyzed between the parameters are tabulated in Table 2 . Table 2. Correlation coefficient and level of correlation between the measured parameters in adults.

It was observed in the present study, the length of PM in the female population was almost equal to the length of the PM reported by Natsis et al. , 11 Hojaij et al. , 12 and Kipkorir et al. 13 The width of the PM noted in the present study is almost equal to the study by Natsis et al. 14 A study by Das et al. , 7 reported the mean thickness of 32 ± 0.55 mm in the right PM and 1.4 ± 0.80 mm in the left PM. In our present study, the mean thickness of muscle on the right side was 1.32 ± 0.55 mm and 1.4 ± 0.80 mm on the left side, which was relatively less than the thickness reported in the study by Das et al. 7 Table 3.

The mean, standard deviation and range values of the aforementioned parameters are tabulated in Table 1 . These parameters were not recorded in the previous studies; therefore we were not able to compare it with the other studies. The present study also showed correlations between the DUP and PM length (R and L), DUP and PM width (R and L), ASIS-PS (R) and PM width (R), ASIS-PS (L) and PM width (L), ASIS-PS (R) and PM length (R), ASIS-PS (L) and PM length (L). The correlation analysis showed a weak but positive correlation between them. This suggests that increases or decreases in ASIS-PS and DUP have negligible effects on the length and width of PM. Plastic surgeons and general surgeons must be aware of potential regional differences, to reduce the chance of consequences and implement the most effective therapeutic strategy. 14 A prostate-cystopexy employing PM for prostate stabilization can treat individuals with functional dysuria caused by the prostate's retrograde inclination and those with bladder obstruction caused by motor neuron injuries. 15 Pyramidalis Pubo-Umbilical Index can be calculated by using length of PM and distance between umbilicus to pubic symphysis (DUP). Further the knowledge of PPUI could be useful for a variety of clinical and surgical procedure s as it encloses about 40.78% of lower abdominal wall. 3 There is no literature regarding the importance of each parameters or distances measured in this study. However, it is essential for the surgeons to be aware of the morphometry of the pyramidalis muscle prior to making the different incisions needed for procedures involving the anterior abdominal wall. Implications PM act as a landmark for surgeons during infra-umbilical and suprapubic incisions while performing caesarean sections. The PM may be collected through a reasonably unnoticeable Pfannenstiel (pubic) opening with minimal donor site complications making it a desirable donor muscle for microsurgical transfer. Limitations The limitation of the present study is the smaller female cadaver sample size, with respect to the male cadaver sample size. Therefore a sex-based comparison was not performed in this study. Recommendations for further research This study can be done to explore the foetus morphometric data and its clinical implications. Conclusions The parameters like length, width, and thickness and new parameters such as Anterior superior iliac spine Pubic symphysis, Anterior superior iliac spine - Lateral part of the base of the muscle, Anterior superior iliac spine - Apex, Distance between umbilicus to pubic symphysis and Distance between umbilicus to apex of the muscle may help the surgeons to locate the muscle in the suprapubic region while performing surgical procedures to remove the flap of donor pyramidalis muscle.

Continue reading READ ALL The authors have made a satisfactory attempt to revise and amend the manuscript. Indeed, the manuscript read well. Comments: In the methodology, under study design and data collection, the authors have included hand-drawn images of measurements taken. However, figure 1 does not display 1A and 1B, though the measurements taken were indicated with dotted lines and abbreviations. It is suggested to indicate the hand-drawn image just as in Figure 1 showing the measurements - length (L) of the pyramidalis muscle (PM) from pubic symphysis (PS) to Linea alba (LA); and width (W) at the origin. The legend of Figure 1 should be modified as some of the features that are not indicated in the figure were listed. for example, RAM is not shown in the image but indicated in the legend, and RPM and LPM are indicated in the legend, but not indicated in the image. It is suggestible to concise the legend according to the content of the image shown. Likewise for hand-drawn figure 2, instead of 2A, 2B, and 2C, it is advised to represent as one single figure 2, with proper annotations and revised legend. Indicate only the structures shown in the image. for example, in the legend, a - above; and b - below were indicated but not shown in the image, likewise RPM, RS, LPM, and RAM. As indicated in comments 2 and 3, the legends for the remaining figures are to be modified. If the authors were able to change the figure numbers, there numbers at the corresponding tables to be modified. Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed.

Continue reading READ ALL The current focused on the morphometric analysis of pyramidal muscle (PM). Strengths The study design is good; the images are clear, and the results are interpreted thoroughly. Authors have been diligent in assessing all different aspects of PM morphometry. The paper is easy to follow. Areas to Improve The tile describes the pyramidalis muscles with its role in reconstructive surgeries. The paper covers the former part well, but the latter needs more discussion rather than a sentence or two. The authors need to comment on how different measurements can potentially relate surgically. Was there any incidence of the unilateral presence of PM? Abbreviations should be avoided in the conclusions. The triangular gap had a lot of variation, but this aspect was not discussed thoroughly.

Not approved Fundamental flaws in the paper seriously undermine the findings and conclusions The authors have made a satisfactory attempt to revise and amend the manuscript. Indeed, the manuscript read well. Comments: In the methodology, under study design and data collection, the authors have included hand-drawn images of measurements taken. However, figure 1 does not display 1A and 1B, though the measurements taken were indicated with dotted lines and abbreviations. It is suggested to indicate the hand-drawn image just as in Figure 1 showing the measurements - length (L) of the pyramidalis muscle (PM) from pubic symphysis (PS) to Linea alba (LA); and width (W) at the origin. The legend of Figure 1 should be modified as some of the features that are not indicated in the figure were listed. for example, RAM is not shown in the image but indicated in the legend, and RPM and LPM are indicated in the legend, but not indicated in the image. It is suggestible to concise the legend according to the content of the image shown. Likewise for hand-drawn figure 2, instead of 2A, 2B, and 2C, it is advised to represent as one single figure 2, with proper annotations and revised legend. Indicate only the structures shown in the image. for example, in the legend, a - above; and b - below were indicated but not shown in the image, likewise RPM, RS, LPM, and RAM. As indicated in comments 2 and 3, the legends for the remaining figures are to be modified. If the authors were able to change the figure numbers, there numbers at the corresponding tables to be modified. Competing Interests No competing interests were disclosed.

However these parameters can be useful for the plastic surgeons while giving abdominal incisions and removal of donor flap. Q2.Was there any incidence of the unilateral presence of PM? Yes, in one cadaver Q3. Abbreviations should be avoided in the conclusions. It is removed Q4. The triangular gap had a lot of variation, but this aspect was not discussed thoroughly. Additionally, what is the effect of embalming or quality of dissection and time passed after the dissection on these gap measurements (also other parameters)? We used freshly embalmed cadavers and the dissections and measurements were done simultaneously. During suprapubic incisions, as well as while removing the donor flap,the knowledge of triangular gap between the pyramidalis muscle may be helpful for the plastic surgeons.

Not approved Fundamental flaws in the paper seriously undermine the findings and conclusions There exists a good amount of literature on the morphometry of the pyramidalis muscle. The authors have made a decent attempt to add on the data to the existing information. The introduction, material and methods, results are well presented. The results did not show whether the PM was observed in all the dissections and on both sides. In the results, the authors have reported a significant difference between the distance of ASIS to the TIP of PM on the right and left sides. It is suggestible to justify the reason for the significant difference. Did the authors observe any gender differences in the values, having less female sample though? The authors would have explained in more detail the importance of the Pearson correlation that was applied in their study and how these observations are useful for clinical interventions. Is the work clearly and accurately presented and does it cite the current literature? Yes Is the study design appropriate and is the work technically sound? Yes Are sufficient details of methods and analysis provided to allow replication by others? Yes If applicable, is the statistical analysis and its interpretation appropriate? Partly Are all the source data underlying the results available to ensure full reproducibility? Yes Are the conclusions drawn adequately supported by the results? Partly Competing Interests No competing interests were disclosed. Reviewer Expertise gross anatomy, histology, anatomical education, technologies in anatomy education, I confirm that I have read this submission and believe that I have an appropriate level of expertise to confirm that it is of an acceptable scientific standard, however I have significant reservations, as outlined above. reply Respond to this report Responses (1) Author Response 16 Nov 2023 Vrinda Ankolekar, Department of Anatomy, Kasturba Medical College Manipal, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, 576104, India Q. The results did not show whether the PM was observed in all the dissections and on both sides . A. PM was observed in 27 cadavers out of 31, in 26 cadavers it was bilateral and in one cadaver it was unilateral. Q. In the results, the authors have reported a significant difference between the distance of ASIS to the TIP of PM on the right and left sides. It is suggestible to justify the reason for the significant difference . A. The distance of ASIS to tip of right & left PM were significantly different because of the difference in the length of right and left PM. Q. Did the authors observe any gender differences in the values, having less female sample though? A. We did not observe any gender differences Q. The authors would have explained in more detail the importance of the Pearson correlation that was applied in their study and how these observations are useful for clinical interventions . A. The Pearson's correlation was performed to see whether there is any relationship between the measured values. We found strong correlation with length of right and left side PM. This could help the surgeons to locate PM and acquire required amount of flap to treat minor lesions in ankle region.
