The Middle Rectal Plexus is a network of veins that drains the middle part of the rectum. It is closely associated with the Middle rectal artery.

Anatomy[edit | edit source]

The Middle Rectal Plexus is located in the pelvis, and is formed by the union of several smaller veins that drain the middle part of the rectum. It is closely associated with the Middle Rectal Artery, which supplies blood to the same region.

Function[edit | edit source]

The primary function of the Middle Rectal Plexus is to drain deoxygenated blood from the middle part of the rectum and return it to the systemic circulation.

Clinical significance[edit | edit source]

Due to its location and function, the Middle Rectal Plexus can be involved in several medical conditions, including hemorrhoids and rectal cancer.
