Abstract:
The medico-surgeon interests in relation to testicular veins, lead the author to realize anatomical observations of the right and left testicular veins in 40 cadavers, with the purpose to verify the number of veins to each other antimere, the variability in its modes of termination, the angles that form at the confluency levels, as well as the presence and the number of ostial and parietal venous valves. The obtained finds by the authors, are considered extremely valid and helpful to the specialists of the medical area, when of realization of testicular phlebography. The varicocele appearance in these veins was motive of discussion by the authors too.
