CADAVERIC STUDY OF VARIATIONS OF RENAL ARTERY AND ITS SURGICAL CORRELATIONS
Dr. Purvi Mishra* and Dr. D. D. Ksheersagar
ABSTRACT
Each kidney is supplied by a single renal artery. Renal arteries are a pair of wide bored straight vessels arising at right angles from the antero-lateral part of aorta just below the superior mesenteric artery. The right renal artery is longer than the left artery because abdominal aorta lies on the left side of vertebral column. The renal arteries are of around 5mm in diameter.[1] Each renal artery divides into anterior and posterior divisions at or very close to the hilum of the kidney. Further it divides into segmental arteries to supply the respective segments of the kidney being themselves the end arteries.[2]
