|
How do you drain the left ovary / testis? |
Left gonadal vein → Left renal vein → IVC
(Left gonadal vein takes the Longest way) |
|
|
How do you drain the right ovary / testis?
|
Right gonadal vein → IVC
|
|
|
What are the characteristics of the drainage of the left spermatic vein?
|
Enters the left renal vein at a 90° angle, so flow is less continuous on the left than on the right →
- Left Venous pressure > Right Venous pressure → - Varicocele more common on left |
|
|
Which testes is more likely to have a varicocele? Why?
|
Left spermatic vein enters the left renal vein at a 90° angle, so flow is less continuous on the left than on the right → |
|
|
What lymph nodes drain the ovaries and testes?
|
Para-aortic lymph nodes
|
|
|

|
What lymph nodes drain the proximal vagina and uterus?
|
- Obturator lymph nodes

|
|
What does the ovarian ligament connect? What structures are contained in this ligament?
|
- Connects medial pole of ovary to lateral uterus
- Does not contain any structures |
|
|
Which vessels do you ligate during an oophorectomy to avoid bleeding? How do you find these vessels?
|
- Ligate ovarian vessels
- Contained within infundibulopelvic ligaments (suspensory ligament of the ovaries) |
|
|
What can compromise the safety of the ureters?
