Uterine Vein Injury Left, Uterine Vein Injury Right
Conditions
Brief summary
Contrary to the uterine arterial system, our knowledge about superficial and deep uterine vein prevalence and anatomic variations are limited. The present study aims to deepen and clarify our knowledge on superficial and deep uterine vein anatomy, prevalence and relationship with other neighbouring structures which may be helpful in uterine transplantation and radical hysterectomy operations.
Detailed description
Despite that two veins draining the uterus, superficial and deep, are described, their true anatomy, number, calibers, trajectories, relationships with sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves and internal iliac vasculature and ureters are quite limited. Additionally, variations of these vasculature are much less described. The aim of this study is to increase the our current knowledge about these anatomical information and also to calculate the prevalence of superficial and deep uterine veins which may potentially decrease the possible complications such as bleeding in uterine transplantation surgery and nerve sparing radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer.

Intervention model description
Endometrium and cervical cancer patients that will be operated in Istanbul University School of Medicine, Dept. of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Division of Oncology will be included. Anatomic details such as the presence, number of superficial and deep uterine veins, calibers, anatomical relationships with hypogastric arteries and veins, ureters, vesicouterine ligaments will be described systematically and bilaterally for every consenting women after pelvic spaces are opened before pelvic lypmhadenectomy and hysterectomy. All regarding information will be photographed for every patient bilaterally and recorded on data sheet.
