| Summary: | Introduction: Renal vascular anatomy is well known in the
literature about its variations. The data of cadaveric study
performed by different authors in different populations is
suggestive of variable nature of existence of renal artery
variations. A thorough knowledge of accessory renal arteries
is important for planning and performing endovascular,
laparoscopic, urological and radiological procedures and
renal transplants.
Aim: To study the variations of renal arteries in cadavers and
to compare it based on laterality, sex and symmetry in Nashik
region, Maharashtra, India.
Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was
conducted at SMBT Institute of Medical Sciences and Research
Center, Dhamangaon, Nashik, Maharashtra, India, from May
2019 to June 2020 during routine abdominal dissection for
medical undergraduate students. Total 25 cadavers (21 males
and four females) were dissected to expose kidneys along with its arteries. The morphological variations (early branching renal
artery and accessory renal artery) of renal arteries were noted
and the data gathered were compared with respect to laterality,
sex and symmetry. Statistical analysis was done using Chisquare test.
Results: Out of 24 cadavers, six {5 (25%) males and 1 (25%)
female} were found to have variations in renal arteries. The renal
artery variations were present bilaterally in 2 (8.3%) cadavers.
The variations in the renal artery were in the form of accessory
renal artery in 6 (12.5%) kidneys and early branching renal
artery in 2 (4.2%) kidneys. The variation based on sex were
found in 5 (25%) males, while based on laterality were found in
five (20.8%) right and three (12.5%) left kidneys.
Conclusion: In the present study, 25% were found to have
variations in renal arteries This finding will provide anatomical
knowledge of variations in the renal arteries amongst the donor
for kidney transplantation surgeries in the Nashik region of
Maharashtra. |
