Multiple anatomical variations of renal vessels

Anatomy topographic study

Abstract

Introduction: Knowledge of anatomical variations of renal vessels is clinically important for surgeons in conducting more adequate and safe preoperative evaluation. Case report: During dissection of a male cadaver, the duplicity of the left renal vein and the presence of the left inferior polar artery were found. A left inferior renal artery polarized between the anterior and lateral left sides of the abdominal portion of the descending aortic artery at the level of the inferior mesenteric artery, whereas a superior renal  left and renal humid vein with a slight obliquity downward, anterior to the right renal artery and upper left inferior vena cava right, lower left, left lateral vena cava inferior. A right superior renal vein presented a pre-anatomical path and was received as a tributary to a lower left renal vein at a distance of 4.5 cm from the inferior vena cava. Comments: The preoperative study of the air vascular anatomy allows to predict a majority of blood vessel distribution patterns and, therefore, to choose a more appropriate surgical tactic for the treatment of inappropriate therapeutic operations or conducts.
