Uberon definition : The obturator vein begins in the upper portion of the adductor region of the thigh
and enters the pelvis through the upper part of the obturator foramen, in the obturator
canal. It runs backward and upward on the lateral wall of the pelvis below the obturator
artery, and then passes between the ureter and the hypogastric artery, to end in the
hypogastric vein. It has an anterior and posterior branch (similar to obturator artery).
