Abstract: Although the results of renal and intrarenal anatomy in pigs could not be completely transposed to humans, many similarities in the pig and human intrarenal arteries support its use as the best animal model for urological procedures.

“…Although the swine is the most adequate model for comparison to human kidney anatomy and physiology 13,21 , this is still an experimental setting and different from the clinical setting. Further, these animals were healthy individuals, without renal tumor or any other medical condition which, again, does not represents the patients submitted to partial nephrectomy.…”

“…However, two or more branches have been reported in the dog (Christensen 1952;Khamanarong et al 2004), while it was reported that the primary division of the pig renal artery forms a cranial and a caudal branch in 93.4% of cases (Pereira-Sampaio et al 2004). Similar to reports in rats (Fuller and Huelke 1973) and dogs (Khamanarong et al 2004;MarquesSampaio et al 2007), we observed the dorsal and ventral branches of renal arteries to be divided as cranial and a caudal segmental arteries.…”
