Functional Aspects of Ano-Rectal Vascularity

Abstract: The blood supply of the ano-rectum has been studied in cadaveric specimens by angiographic methods. The vascular anastomosis between the middle rectal and superior rectal vessels was found to be demonstrable on one side only. There appears to be a midline paucity of vessels in both the posterior and anterior rectal walls, and this may be important in the aetiology of anastomotic dehiscence in low anterior resection.

“…Based on his experience, Goligher pointed out that the long rectal stump is well vascularized even when, after the SRA is tied, the lateral ligaments are dissected (the author believed that the MRA ran through these ligaments). 23,24 Boxall et al, 25 Foster et al, 26 and Patricio et al 27 agreed with these concepts.…”

“…When the IMA is ligated, morphological and functional characteristics of middle and inferior hemorrhoidal arteries [30,31] do not always guarantee a prompt and effective compensation of blood flow to the proximal rectum, in particular for elderly patients with atherosclerotic insufficiency of hypogastric arteries [32,33]. In preserving natural blood flow to the rectum, IMA skeletonization allows the maintenance of a vital bowel and a reliable anastomosis with good functional results [34].…”

“…La anatomía vascular del recto es compleja y proviene de varias fuentes. 17 De acuerdo con Shafik, las dos ramas principales que irrigan el recto son las arterias rectales superiores y las arterias rectales inferiores, 18 lo que difiere de la concepción tradicional emitida por Drummond, en la cual la principal fuente vascular es la arterial rectal superior. 19 Según Didio, las arterias rectales medias tienen una presentación variable y se encuentran entre 12 y 56.7% de los pacientes 20,21 (Cuadro I).…”
