Abstract
Background: Knowledge of the variations of renal vascular anatomy has importance in exploration and treatment
of renal trauma, renal transplantation, renovascular hypertension, renal artery embolization, angioplasty. The
anomalies of accessory renal artery may be important from the clinical point of view. The importance of being
familiar with the renal artery and segmental artery variability, which has become indispensable to urological
surgery, has increased as a result of the large number of renal transplants and vascular reconstructions.
Materials and Methods: 100 kidneys (Fifty pairs) intact with abdominal aorta were collected from department
of Forensic department, JSS Medical College and Mysore Medical College. For study of segmental variation
Corrosion cast technique method was used. The variations of posterior division were observed and recorded.
Results: Accessory renal arteries were found in two specimens originating directly from aorta out of 100
specimens, it is recorded as 2%.
Conclusion: In present study we observed 2% of cases as accessory renal artery. The recent days the increasing
demand for kidney transplantation, grafts from living donor is major source for that, with this concept the
knowledge of accessory renal artery very essential for kidney transplantation.
