Dr. Rekha Mane, Dr. Charushila D. Shinde

Abstract :

 The arterial supply of the abdomen is unique for each individual. The conventional description and illustration of the arterial blood supply to the intestinal tract are too incomplete which may mislead the surgeons in the intestinal surgery. Surgical procedure for diseases of colon is one of the most common operative procedures performed by the surgeons. The blood supply to the intestinal tract is mainly from the superior mesenteric artery 

(SMA) & inferior mesenteric artery (IMA), anches from abdominal aorta. We studied the morphology of the Inferior 
mesenteric artery (IMA) & it’s anches in formalin preserved cadavers at the department of Anatomy ,MGM Medical 
College, Navi Mumbai, India. .This study was conducted to enlighten our knowledge about colonic blood supply.
