“…[9][10][11] Increased pressure in the left renal vein can lead to the left sided varicocele and this in turn may lead to difficulties in spermatogenesis. 12,13 Presence of retro-aortic left renal vein in females may result in Pelvic Congestion Syndrome which is characterized by lower abdominal pain, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, vulval, gluteal or thigh varices and emotional disturbances.…”

Kidneys are the organs that remove the waste products of the metabolic activities. A smooth blood flow to the kidneys is essential to maintain their function. Abnormalities of the renal vasculature may result not only in impairing the renal function but can lead to conditions like varicocele. During an autopsy of an adult male, we observed renal vascular variations. The left renal vein had a retro-aortic course before its termination into the inferior vena cava. It was joined with the inferior vena cava at the level of inferior mesenteric artery with an acute angle. The left testicular vein joined the left renal vein with an acute angle. The right kidney was supplied by two renal arteries. The knowledge about retro-aortic course of the left renal vein may be important during renal transplantation. The oblique course of left renal vein and the termination of left testicular vein into it with an acute angle may increase the chances of left sided varicocele.

“…Some anatomic variations in the renal veins may be correlated with clinical symptoms, as is the case of pain in the pelvic varices or varicocele. Furthermore, this multiplicity is more common in women than in men, as demonstrated by Arslan et al, Karazincir et al and Koc et al [20][21][22]., Therefore, description of the anatomic variations of the renal veins is necessary with regard to investigating the effects of these variations on hemodynamics and renal function, particularly in cases of surgical interventions in the retroperitoneal space [2], [23].…”

Context: Variations in renal vascular morphology are relatively common and involve both the renal arteries and the renal veins. Presence of supernumerary vessels is the variation most frequently encountered. Knowledge of such findings is valuable for urologists with regard to kidney transplantation, nephrectomy, vascular anastomosis, selective catheterization and many other surgical procedures on the kidneys. Objective: To report on a case of duplication of the right renal vein and its clinical and surgical implications. Case report: In one dissected specimen from a male cadaver, the presence of two right renal veins parallel to each other was observed in a position anteroinferior to the right renal artery. One vein emerged from the upper portion of the renal hilum, while the other emerged from the lower portion of the hilum. The two veins drained separately into the inferior vena cava, and neither of them received any tributaries. Conclusion: Knowledge of these vascular variations is important for urologists, vascular surgeons and radiologists, given that performing angiography prior to surgical interventions in the retroperitoneal space avoids complications, especially with regard to kidney transplantation.

“…The retroaortic left renal vein was two times more frequent in females than in males [14]. However, according to Arslan et al [42] and Nam et al [43], the male to female ratio is similar.…”

Aortic Aneurysm

Four major variations of the venous system in the retroperitoneal space are the retroaortic left renal vein, left renal vein collar, left-sided inferior vena cava, and caval duplication. During surgery, especially, injury in veins is responsible for the most unexpected intraoperative bleeding. Therefore, above-mentioned anomalies pose potential hazards to surgeons during treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Preoperative diagnosis is highly desirable but is not always available so, during abdominal surgery, familiarity with the anatomy of the most common types of venous variations is the first step toward preventing vascular injury. The chapter includes information describing the demographic, clinical, and morphological characteristics of the presence of the aforementioned main vein anomalies including: gender distribution, frequency in population, the most commonly reported symptoms, and associate complications. Massive intraoperative bleeding may be dangerous during aortic dissection; however, venous bleeding is more complicated than arterial hemorrhage. Significant venous bleeding, in particular, can occur if major retroperitoneal venous anomalies are present. The anomalous veins are typically thinwalled, dilated, and tortuous. As a result, manipulation of these veins during abdominal aortic surgery places the patient at high risk of long-term massive hemorrhage.
