Cutaneous innervation to the gluteal region is supplied by the superior and inferior gluteal nerves, as well as branches of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve. These nerves provide sensation to the skin overlying the buttocks and upper thigh. Understanding this innervation is important for intramuscular injections, surgical approaches to the hip, and diagnosing neuropathic pain or nerve compression. Damage can cause numbness, paresthesia, or chronic discomfort. Accurate mapping ensures procedures are performed safely, preserving skin sensation, muscle function, and reducing post-operative complications in orthopedic, neurologic, or cosmetic interventions.
