Kidney is supplied by renal artery. This artery is divided into anterior and posterior divisions near hilum which later gives segmental branches. These  segmental branches  supply five segments of kidney. This is helpful in renal procedures as these are end arteries. In some cases there is prehilar division and abberent segmental arteries which will create difficulty while performing procedures on kidney. The present study was done on 40 kidneys to know the different prehilar division of renal artery. This study observed origin of polar artery from renal artery and variant branches of anterior division and posterior division of renal artery. As there is no anastomosis between these branches partial nephrectomy and renal transplantation procedures  can be done successfully. In order to avoid undue complications during surgery, renal angiography  is must before planning any procedures on kidneys to know the  segmental division of renal artery .
