Supernumerary Renal Arteries: A Cadaveric Study With Their Embryological and Clinical Correlations

Renal artery variants: a comprehensive cadaveric comparative study using morphological and corrosion casting technique

“…The current study found that 5% of specimens had rightsided accessory renal arteries and 3.3% had left-sided accessory renal arteries which is not consistent with the studies by Patra et al Satyapal et al, Zainel and Ozkan et al 14,16,21,22 The present study is related to the research conducted by Sungura. 3 Source of origin of accessory renal arteries (Table 8): The current study found that all accessory renal arteries originated from the aorta and that no accessory renal arteries originated from the main renal artery which is inconsistent with previous research by Ephraim, Patra et al and Talovic et al 9,14,23 Symmetry of accessory renal arteries (Table 9): In the present study, unilateral accessory renal artery was seen in 5% of specimens which is not in accordance with the studies conducted by Dhar et al, Ephraim et al and Zainel et al 1,9,21 Bilateral accessory renal artery was seen in 3.3% specimens which correlates with studies done by Dhar et al and Ephraim et al 1,9 Types of accessory renal arteries (Table 9): The superior and inferior polar arteries were the two types of accessory renal arteries that were found in this study.…”

“…The present study delves into the intricate variations of renal artery morphology through the utilization of both conventional dissection techniques and the innovative corrosion casting method.
