Study Of Presegmental Arterial Pattern Of Human Kidneys In Local Population

Abstract

Background: Anatomy embraces all areas of knowledge related to the structural organization of the human body. Like other systems of the human body, vascular system also shows many variations in terms of number, origin and branching pattern of vessels. This study  Was conducted to observe the extra renal arterial pattern and its variations by dissection which provides reliable information to the anatomists for learning and teaching. Method: The study was conducted in the dissection hall of anatomy department of Smt.N.H.L. Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad during the year of august 2013- November 2018. Result: In most cases (85%), point of origin of main renal artery was from the lateral wall of the abdominal aorta. In 6% cases double renal arteries were originating from lateral wall of the abdominal aorta. In present study single renal artery from its origin was dividing into pre segmental arteries entering into the hilum of the kidney. these branches were dividing into segmental and then lobular arteries inside the parenchyma of the kidney for micro circulation Conclusion: study that pre-segmental arterial pattern is different in many cases and knowledge of these branching variations is very useful during renal surgeries particularly when there is a great demanding era of renal transplantation and partial nephrectomy.
