“…Erdoğan et al retrospectively reviewed the origin of the vascular structures in ectopic kidneys with MDCT. 4 The renal artery originated from the suprarenal aorta in 1 case, normal origin in 13 cases, the infrarenal aorta in 36 cases, aortic bifurcation in 50 cases, the common iliac artery in 17 cases, and the iliac artery bifurcation in 2 cases. The renal vein was of normal origin in 19 cases, originated from the infrarenal IVC in 44 cases, IVC bifurcation in 36 cases, the common iliac vein in 23 cases, the internal iliac vein in 1 case, and the external iliac vein in 1 case.…”

“…3 To reduce surgical morbidity and mortality, it is important for preoperative detection of ectopic renal vascular and ureteric anomalies. 4 These anomalies, especially the vessel anomalies, can contribute to complications during interventional procedures and surgeries. 2 The variations of the vessels seen in ectopic kidneys are more diverse than those of the normally located kidneys, causing iatrogenic bleeding frequently during surgery.…”

“…2 The variations of the vessels seen in ectopic kidneys are more diverse than those of the normally located kidneys, causing iatrogenic bleeding frequently during surgery. 4 Therefore, knowledge of the possibility of these anatomical variations will be very helpful to the nephrologists and clinicians in making a correct diagnosis and preventing complications during interventional procedures, urological surgeries and renal transplantation. 5…”

Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the vascular and ureteric anomalies associated with ectopic kidneys with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). Methods: The 40 patients with pre-diagnosed ectopic kidney undergoing MDCT urography (Contrast study) and KUB (Plain study) were included in this cross-sectional observational study. The location and number of bilateral kidneys were assessed. The number and origin of the renal arteries and renal veins were noted. Their relationship with each other and possible complications in surgical handling analysed. Data collected was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: The renal artery originated from suprarenal aorta in 2 cases, normal origin in 10 cases, infrarenal aorta in 12 cases, aortic bifurcation in 19 cases, common iliac artery in 6 cases and iliac artery bifurcation in 2 cases. The renal vein was of normal origin in 8 cases, originated from infrarenal inferior vena cava (IVC) in 16 cases, IVC bifurcation in 14 cases, common iliac vein in 9 cases, internal iliac vein in 2 cases and external iliac vein in 1 case. There was a significant correlation between the level of ectopic kidneys (abdominal, iliac and pelvis) and level of origin of arteries (p<0.001) and veins (p<0.001). In addition, significant correlation was found between the origins of arteries and veins of ectopic kidneys (p<0.001).Conclusions: A knowledge of the possible variations in renal vasculature and ureter associated with ectopic kidneys can play a key role in preventing iatrogenic hemorrhage during surgery.

“…The knowledge of vascular variants is essential to prevent iatrogenic bleeding during surgery, nephrectomies, renal transplantation or renal pathologies. The nephrectomy of the pelvic kidney is complex due to the proximity of anatomical structures, a tortuous ureter or other adjacent neurovascular anomalies [ 4 ].…”
