Abstract

 Background and Aims: The advent of more conservative methods in the renal surgery has necessitated a more precise knowledge of renal vascularisation at the renal hilum and it has its importance in partial and total nephrectomy and also in renal transplantation surgeries. This study is mainly aiming at the incidence in the number of renal hilar structures [renal artery, vein and pelvis]. Material and Methods: Totally 84 kidneys were studied in the present work by blunt dissection method.  These 84 kidneys were collected from department of Anatomy, Navodaya medical college and hospital, some were formalin stored and some freshly dissected from cadavers during the routine dissection classes of medical students. The incidence of no. of renal artery .vein and pelvis were observed. Results: Out of 84 kidneys studied, single renal artery was seen in 72 specimens and 12[14.28%] specimens showed double renal arteries coming separately from abdominal aorta and entering separately at the upper part and lower part of hilum. Double renal veins were seen in 3 specimens [3.57%]. These renal veins were coming out of hilum and passing in front of renal artery and entered the inferior venecava. Only one kidney [1.19%] showed double pelvis which was coming out of kidney separately from posterior upper and lower part of hilum and joined just before opening into the urinary bladder. Conclusion: The knowledge of such variations in number of structures is important in carrying out renal surgeries.
