Background: The goal of the present meta-analysis was to offer physicians the most evidence-based data concerning the anatomical characteristics of the prostatic artery (PA).
Materials And Methods: Medical databases including PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Cochrane Library were searched trough. The overall search process was performed in 3 stages.
Background: The main goal of the present meta-analysis was to provide physicians, especially surgeons, with crucial data on the complete anatomy of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). It is hoped that our results will help reduce the complication rates in procedures associated with this anatomical entity.
Materials And Methods: Major online medical databases such as PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library were searched to gather all studies on IAN anatomy, including topography, morphology, and variations.
The pyramidal lobe (PL), also known as the third lobe of the thyroid gland or lobe of Lalouette is an embryological remnant of the caudal end of the thyroglossal tract. The following meta-analysis aims to provide a detailed analysis of the anatomical variations of the PL using the available data in the literature. Major online medical databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were searched in order to find all studies considering the prevalence and anatomy of the PL of the thyroid gland.

Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze and compile the multiple anatomical variations of the LN for use in oral and maxillofacial surgery. It is anticipated that the results of the present meta-analysis may help to minimize the possible complications when performing procedures associated with this anatomical entity.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed to establish morphometric data of the LA. The measurements were performed on 55 consecutive patients who underwent head and neck computed tomography angiographies (CTA).
Article Synopsis
- The meta-analysis aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of pituitary gland (PG) morphology by reviewing existing literature and synthesizing data.
- The average volume of the PG was found to be around 597.23 mm, with noted average differences based on gender and geographic region, indicating Asian females generally have larger PGs than European males.
- The study's findings also highlight that PG size tends to decrease with age, providing valuable reference points for medical professionals in diagnosing related health issues and guiding surgical procedures.
The uterine artery (UA) is an arterial branch of the internal iliac artery in women, usually arising from the anterior division of the internal iliac artery. However, due to the high variability in the anatomy of the UA, embolization of this vessel may be challenging. Therefore, the objective of this meta-analysis was to provide physicians with transparent data on the anatomy of the UA, using the available data in the literature.

- The study addresses the lack of research on the costocervical trunk (CCT) anatomy and aims to classify its variations based on 75 computed tomography angiographies.
- Researchers analyzed data from 55 patients, revealing four distinct types of CCT, with Type 1 being the most common (76.1%) and closely matching existing anatomical texts.
- Notably, the CCT was absent in nearly 24% of cases, highlighting its variable presence, which could help physicians performing endovascular procedures in the neck area understand anatomical differences better.
