Description
Abstract
Aim: The aim of the present study was to study the variability in morphology of the renal vein and to measure
length of renal vein and to observe the variations in renal vein.
Methods: The dissection was done in 30 embalmed cadavers in the Department of Anatomy, Patna Medical
College, Patna, Bihar, India for seven months. They included 20 male and 10 female cadavers. They were
collected from the dissection hall of department of Human Anatomy of various medical colleges.
Results: Tributaries that emerge from the kidney and join to form renal vein are called primary tributaries. These
were present in 9 in right and 12 in left specimens. Statistically significant association was not found between
presence of primary tributary of renal vein and side. Statistically significant difference found between length of
renal vein of right and left side. Average length was more on left side (62.44 mm) than that of right side (26.98
mm).
Conclusion: Detailed knowledge of variations of these vessels will definitely improve outcome of various
urological, renal transplantation and laparoscopic surgeries. This knowledge will be of immense help to
radiologists and oncologists who are dealing with this region. Also, a detailed knowledge and understanding of
major congenital anomalies of the renal veins variations will provides safety guidelines for endovascular
procedures.
