Dr. Kishwor Bhandari, Dr. Kamil Khan, Mrs Sanju Acharya

Abstract :

Variations of arteries not only have anatomical interest but also have physiological and pathological significance such as flow dynamics, atherosclerosis and aneurysm. To facilitate the surgical approach, we studied the prevalence of accessory renal artery in 100 kidneys. We found the presence of accessory (multiple) renal arteries in 29%. To avoid complications due to accessory renal arteries radiological examination of renal vessels should be done before renal surgery
