[Renal artery vascularization in the African black. Report of 44 dissections]. / La vascularisation artérielle rénale chez le noir africain. A propos de 44 dissections.

Studies on the anatomy of the renal arteries in Black Africans being scarce, the authors have made their contribution to the knowledge of the renal arteries. They have provided a comparison between the anatomy of the renal arteries studied in the literature in relation to a white patient and black patient. It is a prospective study based on the change in the number of the renal arteries of 44 Black Africans' maccabees quite fresh, not yet embalmed that have been dissected in order, as received in the anatomy laboratory of Abidjan. That work has allowed to notice some results that are more or less similar to those revealed in the literature, i.e. in 80% of the cases, the kidney is irrigated by an artery, and in 20% of the cases, we have more than one artery for one kidney. No kidney is vascularized by more than two arteries. These results underline how important it is to have good anatomical knowledge of this region in renal surgery. This is possible thanks to medical imagery and arteriography which helps in preventing operative accidents and in preserving the kidney.

[Anatomic study of arterial and venous cavernospongious shunt in the human penis: surgical findings]. / Etude anatomique des shunts artériels et veineux cavernospongieux du pénis humain: applications chirurgicales.

The vascularization of the penis corpora cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum of foetus, children and adults was studied via intra-vascular injection with gelatenous india ink. The microscopic vision of sagittal and transvers sections of the penis showed perforate deep arterial system of the cavernosa directly anastomosed the urethral submucosal arteries in order to establish the shunt between the corpora cavernous arteries and spongious arterial network. Those vascular connection systems of the penis provided well diffusion of the drugs.

[Internal iliac artery: functional anastomosis value and pelvic surgery application]. / Artère iliaque interne: valeur anastomotique fonctionnelle et application chirurgicale pelvienne.

The vascularization of the intra and extra pelvic organs of adults, children and neonates (male and female) is studied in 17 pelvis, in which the vascular system has been injected with colored Altufix p10 and gelatinous india ink. The pelvic region constitute a true vascular crossroad of two anastomotic networks, one arterial, originate from the visceral and parietal branches of iliac internal and external arteries, femoral and abdominal aorta by inferior mesenteric artery; the other one, which morphology is incompletely superposable in diameter. Each organ is tributary of characteristic vascular system from adventitious to mucosa with direct or recurrential manner between striated muscle fibers and mucosal layers. This duality of two systems, vascular and anastomotic provides the anatomic direction of vascular suppliance after troncular iliac artery binding and determines the vitality of the organ.
