Abstract :

Study of morphology of Renal Artery in terms of origin, length and diameter supplying kidney is very significant. This study helps in avoiding the surgical accidental injuries of blood vessels during renovascular surgery, kidney transplant and radiological procedures. Present study was conducted on 50 formalin fixed cadaver by dissection method. A comparative analysis was done with previous studies. In this study origin of Right Renal artery is little higher than Left Renal artery in most cases. In evaluation of distance between origin of Renal Artery and origin of Superior Mesenteric Artery from abdominal aorta on Right side mean distance 12.72 ± 3.04mm and on Left side mean distance 11.16 ± 2.42mm. In evaluation of length of Renal Artery mean length on Right side 38.04 ± 4.29mm and on left side 27.04 ± 5.27mm. In evaluation of diameter of Renal Artery near origin from Abdominal Aorta mean diameter of right side 4.76 ± 0.32mm and on left side 5.22 ± 0.34mm. Knowledge of this variation is important for surgeon and radiologists.
