Description

The drainage of gonadal veins has significant role in causing varicocele, a known factor for male infertility. Present study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu Universty, Varanasi. The drainage of gonadal vein was observed in 12 adult cadavers (10 male and 2 female). The gonadal vein on right side normally drains into inferior vena cava. In one case, right testicular vein drained in to right renal vein. In remaining 11 cadavers, no variation was found in drainage of gonadal vein. Incidence of variation in drainage of gonadal vein was found to be 8.3%.
