In the floor of this fossa are the obturator nerve and vessels. The tubal extremity of the ovary lies below the level of the external iliac vessels, and its uterine extremity is placed just above the level of the peritoneum covering the pelvic floor. The fossa ovarii, in which the ovary lies, extends as far forwards as the obliterated umbilical artery, and backwards as far as the ureter and uterine vessels. Thus the mesovarian border of the ovary lies just behind the line of the obliterated umbilical artery, and the free border is on a plane anterior to the ureter (Fig. 1029). The medial surface of the ovary is almost completely covered by the uterine tube, which, passing upwards on it near its mesovarian border, arches over the tubal extremity, and then turns downwards in relation to the free border and posterior part of the medial surface (Fig. 1029). In some cases the ovary is found to lie behind, or more rarely in front, of the fossa described above, and its long axis may be oblique instead of vertical. The above description, however, corresponds to the typical position of the organ in women who have not borne children.
