Figure 2 (A) Ligation of bilateral uterine veins and arteries. Surgical technique used on the second group of subjects (n = 3), notable for transection of bilateral uterine vessels. (B) In vivo uterus after ligation of bilateral uterine veins and arteries. Uterus remains suspended by the utero-ovarian attachments alone after bilateral uterine vessel ligation in a Papio hamadryas study subject.

Figure 3 Spy image of uterine perfusion after bilateral uterine vein ligation. The picture is oriented with the subject's feet to the left and the head to the right. The surgeon's index and middle finger are retracting the bladder, and a sterile lap is covering the omentum. The reference point (100%) is placed along the right pelvic sidewall. Comparison points have been placed over the uterine fundus (120%) and the cervico-vaginal anastomosis (62%).
