Figure 7.

A box‐whisker plot showing the difference in rostrocaudal position (Δp) of the origin and termination of each group of infrarenal lumbar splanchnic nerves (LSNs) on the right (A) and left (B) side of the body. Outliers, calculated by spss, are represented by hollow dots. Significance at the P < 0.05 level is denoted with an asterisk. As shown, the LSNs joining the aortic plexus typically course in parallel, whereas the length and angle of the retroaortic LSNs on each side are significantly different. Note, the 3rd lowest LSN on the left was not significantly different from any other nerve.
