A case of novel combined variations of the renal and testicular vessels

“…Variations in the ramification patterns of renal and testicular vessels have been reported in detail, particularly with respect to their possible number, origin, course, and termination [8,20,23,25,27]. However, such mutations sometimes occur simultaneously and in various combinations, and may be accompanied by malformation in the kidney and urinary tract [1,2,9,11,13,18,21,26,28]. Compared to a single variation, the presence of multiple variations increases the risk of unexpected injury to the urogenital vessels during surgical procedures; therefore, a detailed description of combined variations is helpful to ensure safe surgery.…”
