Secondary blood supply to the testes comes from the aery of the vas deferens, and a small branch from the epigastric aery termed the external spermatic aery forms during descent of the testes from the abdomen to the scrotum. The surgical impoance of this phenomenon is that operations involving the region of the renal aeries may sacrifice the internal spermatic aery.
