Abstract: Objective:The aim of this study was to detect and describe the existence and incidence of anatomical variations of the superior mesenteric artery by using dissection method.Materials and methods: 40 cadavers dissected, anatomy department of S.M.S.Medical college jaipur. Results: we found that 77.50% of patients presented a classic anatomy of the superior mesenteric artery, using dissection (cadaveric) method, we found the existence of variations of these abdominal blood vessels in 27.50% of cadavers. Conclusion: preoperative knowledge of such variations on the part of surgical team is exceedingly important to avoid iatrogenic arterial injury, predominantly in light of the increasing number of laproscopic interventions.
