The arterial blood supply of the parametrium.
The possible influence of tubal sterilization on the ovarian function is still debated. In this study, we have investigated the course of the main arteries in the parametrium. This study concludes that it is unlikely, from an anatomical point of view, that the ovarian function can be disturbed after tubal sterilization with bipolar cautery, silicone-rings or Filshieclips due to changes in the arterial blood supply.
