A CADAVERIC STUDY OF VARIATIONS IN ORIGIN AND BRANCHING OF RENAL ARTERIES
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 52
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mostly kidneys are supplied by single renal arteries, which arise from the aorta and enter the kidney through the hilum to divide into segmental branches. This study aims to determine the various branching pattern of segmental branches of single renal artery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This descriptive study was done by obtaining forty eight formalin fixed cadavers from the Department of Anatomy, Medical College, Kottayam. RESULTS Single renal artery originating from the aorta was seen in 85.18%; varied segmental pattern was obtained. CONCLUSION Awareness of variations in branching pattern of renal arteries is of paramount importance for various surgical, urological and angiographic interventions.
