A Survey Of Variation in Obturator Arteries

The knowledge of surgeon from anatomical variation can inhance the recovery process of patients. Vascular variation and their accidental cutting during surgical procedure can produce some problems specially in arterial variation. So the anatomical and surgical department must not neglect to prapere some program in order to learn these variations to the students. The antero-inferior abdominal wall of white 35 years old man has dissected. It was revealed that the obturator artery is an accessory branch of inferior epigastric artery at the medial side of deep inguinal ring. Subsequently it descend medially, crossing the free margin of lacunar ligament to reach the obturator canal. This variation is potentially dangerous in operation of femoral hernia.
