The Vessel of Kim (infundibulopelvic ligament accessory vessel) is highlighted in yellow with surrounding structures labeled

The Vessel of Kim, also infundibulopelvic ligament of ovary accessory vessel, is a vein in the mesovarium that branches from the infundibulopelvic ligament (or suspensory ligament of ovary).[1] The Vessel of Kim is an important landmark in gynecologic surgery during an oophorectomy procedure. Proper cauterization of the Vessel of Kim is necessary when entering the pelvic sidewall as the small vessel can bleed and obstruct planes.
