Please use the space provided to explain your answers to the questions above. You may also include additional comments for the author, including concerns about dual publication, research ethics, or publication ethics. (Please upload your review as an attachment if it exceeds 20,000 characters)

Reviewer #1: Dear Authors,

Thank you very much for the opportunity to review this great study! I have a few suggestions for study improvement:

1) Overall:

- Please unify English spelling - sometimes fetus and other times foetus is used. Please double check for English grammar mistakes.

2) Abstract:

- Please provide 1-2 sentences regarding the rationale for choosing the superior gluteal nerve for your current study. Why is knowledge regarding this particular nerve important?

- First sentence of the conclusions - please rewrite adding information referring to the gestation. If you have partly divided the abstract into sections, please stick to it and present it as Introduction, materials and methods, results and conclusions.

- Please rewrite last two sentences of the conclusions - they are a repetition from the results. Instead provide information as to how to use your results in everyday medical practice.

3) Introduction:

- Paragraph two, second sentence - please specify what risk and add its estimated prevalence.

- Penultimate paragraph - the authors discuss the clinical implications associated with the superior gluteal nerve. However, information regarding the possible causes, mechanisms of injury or situations in which it can be damaged prenatally or in the neonatal period is scarce. Please add 1-2 sentences pertaining to this particular population, as those will be the patients that could potentially benefit from the study results. Please also reconsider the information regarding vaccinations into the gluteus muscles - the newborns are predominantly vaccinated (namely against hep. B and TB in some countries) by utilising the vastus lateralis muscle.

4) Material and methods:

- Please explain the "v-pl" abbreviation the first time it is used.

- The crown-rump length ought to be written down with a hyphen.

- Please provide the first and third quartiles instead of min-max (those can be described in the text), as the quartiles are more informative (the former can present outliers). The mean and median ought to be presented with one decimal place (SD with two) for mathematical accuracy.

- Please specify "visible developmental malformations" - did it involve only malformations of the abdomen, pelvis and lower limb or any malformation in general? How many foetuses were excluded?

- Please carefully review the paragraph describing the statistical methods used. Some parts have been submitted twice. Min and max values surely could not have been estimated but measured - please rewrite.

5) Results:

- The information regarding the measurement method from paragraph two ought to be presented in methods section, not results. Likewise, table 1 (characteristics of the analyzed material) with its calculated values ought to be presented in the results (calculations lead to results) with only a brief description in the materials section. Please move table 1 to the results section.

- Figure 14 and Figure 13 in paragraph 3 should not be referenced prior to figures 1-12. Good practice is to number the figures consecutively in the order they appear (as per journal guidelines).

- Sentence "it is divided into two types: tree form (...)" requires rewriting (especially its second part) - possibly split into two sentences.

- Please stick to the "tree type" - do not introduce another descriptor as "woody type" if it refers to the same entity. Same goes for Table 2.

- The 95%CI for the OR in Table 2 have to be corrected. Please rename the table (possibly into: "Table 2. Prevalence of superior gluteal nerve patterns in respect to sex and laterality.").

- Please unify the results as written with a dot (.) describing the decimal place of the estimates (not comas).

- Same as with table 1, please provide Q1 and Q3 values instead of min-max for table 3. Muscle abbreviations have to be explained in table footnotes. Please rename the table (possibly into: "Width of the superior gluteal nerve branches to the particular muscles in respect to sex and laterality.").

- Please rewrite "gluteal muscle medium" unerneath the table 4.

6) Discussion:

- The paragraph regarding the development of the lumbar spine is not relevant to the current study. Please delete.

- Clinical significance of the fetal superior gluteal nerve has to be expanded. Please relate it more to the fetal (possibly fetal lower limb surgery), neonatal and infant applications, as this is the population that could benefit from the current study. The embryological pattern of the nerve will be less relevant in an adult due to the growth of the axial skeleton, muscular variabilities and personal history (namely injuries) in the later life.

- There is no limitations section to the discussion. Please amend.

7) Conclusions:

- Please provide 1-2 sentences on how the results of the current study can specifically be used in everyday medical practice.

8) Please acknowledge the statisticians in the acknowledgement section, as well as the donors as per anatomical journals editors recommendations (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ca.23671).

9) Please change section headings into "Table legends" and "Figure legends." The tables were not submitted as supplementary files, but part of the main manuscript.

10) Figures:

- There is no number 3 (TFL) visible on the figure (though described in figure legends). It is also hard to see that the blue arrow points to the nerve to TFL. Please amend.

- Figure 2 - yellow arrow seems to aim more at gluteus medius than minimus.

- Please double check all figures against their footnotes - in many cases TFL is only listed, but not marked.

Reviewer #2: Thank you for the opportunity of the reviewing this interesting article untitled: "The morphometrical and topographical evaluation of the superior gluteal nerve in the prenatal period." This article is well-written and the conclusion is clinically useful. I have one suggestion. In table 2 it is suggested to rename Fisher exact test for chi2 with Yates correction. This formula should be used when at least one cell of the table has an expected count smaller than 5. In authors analysis the outcome is similar to the Fisher test, however Yates cor. is more appropriate.
