Sampson artery

Sampson artery

The Sampson artery runs through the round ligament of the uterus. It is considered an insignificant artery that is dissected during hysterectomies. Only rarely does it pose a hemodynamic risk to the patient if severed and it is easily cauterized or sutured to prevent bleeding.
