Study of variation in renal artery of cadaver by dissection
Keywords:
Renal artery, Polar arteryAbstract
Objective: The main purpose of the study was to observe the variation of renal artery in cadaveric study brought to the Department of Forensic Medicine, Maharajgunj Medical Campus, Nepal.
Methods and Methodology: This was cross-sectional study done on the 97 cases (194 kidneys) brought to the Department of Forensic Medicine. Cases were dissected and variations of renal arteries were noted by photography.
Results: There were 97 cases out of which21.64 % (21cases) showed variation of renal artery. Right sided variation was observed in three cases (3.09%), Left sided variation was observed in eight cases (8.24%) and bilateral variation was observed in ten cases (10.30%).
Conclusion: There was variation of renal artery in terms of duplication and multiple prehilar branching. Therefore this information may be useful for clinical as well as research purpose.
