Editing Epididymis and Vas Deferens (section)

=== Arterial supply ===

* '''The seminal vesical (abdominal) end of the vas derives its blood supply from the artery of the vas (vasal/deferential artery)'''
* '''The testicular end of the vas receives additional blood supply from the inferior epididymal arterial interconnections,''' which extend onto the vas deferens
* '''The two blood supplies to the vas deferens freely anastomose with each other'''
** '''After vasectomy, if [branches of] the vasal vessels are ligated, the testicular end of the vas receives all of its blood supply from the superior and middle epididymal arteries, which arise from the testiclar artery, whereas the seminal vesical (abdominal) end of the vas receives all of its blood supply from [remaining intact branches] from the artery of the vas.'''
** '''The vas deferens receives no blood supply from the surrounding cremaster muscle or from any blood vessels from the spermatic cord. Therefore, if the vas deferens is sectioned or obstructed in two different locations, the intervening segment will fibrose owing to lack of blood supply. Therefore, two simultaneous vasovasostomies cannot be safely performed on the same vas if the vasal vessels have been interrupted in both locations'''
