The sigmoid arteries — an imaging-based anatomical study with clinical implications
The sigmoid arteries, which serve as the primary source of blood supply to the sigmoid colon, exhibit significant variability in their origin and number of branches. The present study provides a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the morphometric characteristics and branching patterns of the sigmoid arteries, aiming to enhance current knowledge. This data may be particularly valuable for physicians, as it is clinically relevant to various colorectal surgical procedures, such as malignancy resections.
