Fig. 5From: Development of an ovine efferent mammary lymphatic cannulation model with minimal tissue damageIntraoperative image showing adjoined mammary efferent lymphatic and external pudendal vein. A major mammary lymphatic ligated by silk suture was found to be adjacent to the external pudendal vein. The fibro-connective tissues strongly attached the lymphatic to the wall of the vein. A smaller mammary lymphatic running next to the vein was also found. The picture is positioned with cranial to the right. →: mammary lymphaticsBack to article page
