Accessory Renal Arteries: A Cadaveric Study of 144 Kidneys
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anatomy - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Accessory renal arteries are one of the most commonly seen variation of renal arteries. Hilar, upper polar and lower polar are the types of accessory renal arteries seen. Aim: To find the incidence of various types of accessory renal arteries in maharashtrian population. Methods: 144 kidneys are studied for variations in renal arteries like source of origin and number. Results: 17 kidneys (11.8%) show presence of accessory renal arteries. Maximum 10 (6.94%) kidneys show lower polar accessory renl arteries. 100% aortic origin for renal arteries is noted. Conclusion: Knowledge of variations like accessory renal arteries are very important for surgeons and radiologists during radiological examination before ureteropelvic procedures and renal transplants.
