The ovaries, resembling almonds in shape and size, are vital organs that serve as the female gonads where oocytes, or female gametes, undergo development and where various reproductive hormones are produced. The ovaries receive their arterial blood supply predominately from the ovarian artery but also from the ascending branches of the uterine artery. The arterial anatomy of the ovaries is highly significant in any gynecological surgical procedure, as hemorrhagic complications may be fatal.

The main objective of the present study is to provide the first anatomical heat map of the UA, demonstrating the location of its origin and course in the pelvis.
Methods: In July 2022, an assessment was conducted on the findings from 40 consecutive female patients who had undergone computed tomography angiography of the abdomen and pelvis.
Introduction And Hypothesis: The obturator artery (ObA) is described as a branch of the anterior division of the internal iliac artery. It arises close to the origin of the umbilical artery, where it is crossed by the ureter. The main goal of the present study was to create an anatomical map of the ObA demonstrating the most frequent locations of the vessel's origin and course.

Methods: The main online medical databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Wiley online library, Web of Science, and EBSCO discovery service were used to gather all relevant studies on the AP.
Results: A total of 12,729,118 patients were analyzed in relation to the prevalence of AP.
