Abstract
|
|
|
To prevent extensive manpulation of the kidney and profuse bleeding, the examct information of the renal vessels is very important. On the basis of the intraoperative observatins of 127 donor kidneys anf preoperative angiography, we studied the
renal
vascular variations. Both kidneys had single renal arteries in 70.1% of the cases and multiple renal arteries were found in 29.9% of the cases. 89% of the cases had single renal arteries and single renal veins, and 4.8% of the cases were drained
by
multiple renal veins on operaitve field.Left renal veins had three branches, adrenal vein, gonadal vein and lumbar vein in 84% of the cases. Only adrenal vein and gonadal vein were identified in 13% of the cases. Anomalies of the IVC were
identified in
two cases. One case was left postrenal IVC and the other case was persisting left IVC. Right renal veins had no branch in 88.9% of the cases and gonadal vein was identified in 11.1% of the cases in our study. In surgical procedureds about the
renal
area, familiarity with common variations variations of the renal vessels and anomalies of IVC is very important for the surgeon.
