Saphenophemoral Junction and its Related Anatomical Variation in Black Bengal Goat

Abstract

Blood circulation especially venous distribution is an important subject in any kind of surgical procedure. In the case of the hind leg from the ankle to the groin blood is supplied by the saphenous vein. For venous drainage in hind limbs saphenous vein has a significant role that extends from the ankle to the groin. Basically median and lateral saphenous veins join together as great saphenous veins and enter into gastrocnemius muscle. The ventral to the muscle layer of the tensor fascia lata saphenous vein joins with the femoral vein and forms a junction, which is known as the saphenofemoral junction. It’s also known as the great saphenous vein. Between the deep and aponeurotic fascia of the tensor fascia lata saphenous vein has been found. Many tributaries such as the circumflex iliac vein, external pudendal, and deep pudendal vein were examined in this case. Four cadaveric lower limbs were dissected to examine anatomical variations of these veins and describe their relation to the deep fascia of the thigh. A saphenous compartment is actually a triangular structure. This triangular space is formed by the adductor muscle, fascia lata, and Sartorius muscle. The range of saphenous veins in the saphenous compartment ranged from 5.7-8.1 (7±1.3) cm.
