It formed the second or third branch of the anterior trunk in 70.8% of cases; it ascended as a single branch, or from a bifurcation, or from a trifurcation in 76.4%, 17.1%, and 6.7% of cases; and lay posterior to the ureter in 3.8% of cases. In all, 46.2% of the uterine arteries studied varied from the classic description.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>About half of the uterine arteries had a nonclassic origin, branching pattern, or relation to the ureter\u2014as a posterior relation to the ureter had not been previously described. Surgeons operating in the pelvis should be aware of this variant anatomy to avoid injury to the ureter and other organs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijgo.2010.04.033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,7,2]],"date-time":"2010-07-02T08:23:48Z","timestamp":1278059028000},"page":"49-52","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Variant anatomy of the uterine artery in a Kenyan population"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"111","author":[{"given":"Moses M.","family":"Obimbo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julius A.","family":"Ogeng'o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hassan","family":"Saidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.172.4.10587133"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5962\/bhl.title.20311"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00270-003-2652-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1341-8076.2005.00264.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1051-0443(99)70213-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0020-7292(00)00376-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","first-page":"43","article-title":"Variability of the course of the uterine artery and its branches within the broad ligament and vascularization of uterine walls depending on a woman's age in light of anatomical, radiologic and microangiographic studies","volume":"41","author":"Pilarczyk K.","year":"1995","journal-title":"Ann Acad Med Stetin"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"36","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9378(16)33641-9","article-title":"Laceration of the ascending branch of the uterine artery: a complication of therapeutic abortion","volume":"118","author":"Lowensohn R.I.","year":"1974","journal-title":"Am J Obstet Gynecol"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","first-page":"239","article-title":"Diagnostic neglect regarding ureter ligation after hysterectomy","volume":"37","author":"Bilge Y.","year":"2007","journal-title":"Turk J Med Sci"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2298\/VSP0706381L"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.1978.tb14950.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ccd.1810120606"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2004.09.018"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mob.2002.128989"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1471-0528.2003.01151.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3156.2004.01228.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_18_2","first-page":"107","article-title":"Ectopic kidney associated with malrotation and dual arterial supply in an adult with microscopic hematuria","volume":"26","author":"Park J.W.","year":"2007","journal-title":"Korean J Nephrol"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_19_2","first-page":"357","article-title":"The arterial system of the internal female genitals","volume":"33","author":"Redlich A.","year":"1909","journal-title":"Arch Anat and Physiol"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2006.11.049"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0020-7292(93)90703-Y"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_22_2","article-title":"Unsafe abortion in Kenya","volume":"4","author":"Guttmacher Institute","year":"2008","journal-title":"Brief Series"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_23_2","first-page":"296","article-title":"Predictors of low birth weight at the community level","volume":"75","author":"Ngare D.K.","year":"1998","journal-title":"East Afr Med J"}],"container-title":["International Journal of Gynecology &amp;
