This cadaveric study was aimed to draw attention to surgically important variations of the posterior tributaries of the LRV. Increased awareness among surgeons can considerably reduce the potential risk of vascular injuries during renal surgery.
A significant surgical and radiological difficulty may be encountered in the presence of undiagnosed variations of the renal arteries preoperatively. In selected cases, a conventional arteriography or CT angiography can be of great help in reducing unexpected problems and improving the outcome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
