Variations in the origin, number, course of testicular arteries and its clinical significance
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Knowledge of the variant anatomy and anomalies of testicular arteries is would be of use to all clinicians and interventional radiologists to predetermine the abnormalities by invasive and noninvasive procedures. The present work was aimed to study the normal and variant anatomy of origin, number and course of the right and left testicular arteries. 160 testicular arteries with age group 20-60years from nonspecific 80 male cadavers were included. Abdominal cavity was opened by routine dissection procedure. variations in the origin, number and course were observed in 22 cases out of 160. In the present study testicular arteries were normal in origin, number and course in 86.2%. The variations found in this study include double testicular arteries 7.5%cases. Testicular arteries arise from renal artery in 5% cases, from accessory renal artery in 3.75%, from common trunk with suprarenal artery in 3.2%, from inferior aberrant renal artery in 3.2%. testicular arteries arched over renal vein in 8.75%. Awareness of these vascular variations of origin, number and course of testicular arteries is very important for better outcomes of the surgeries in the retro peritoneum like renal transplants, nephrectemies, varicocele, undescended testies, in order to avoid an inadvertent injury to these vessels during above mention surgeries which leads to testicular infarction and atrophy.
