Abstract:Background: The diverse drainage patterns of the left renal vein (LRV), often with asymptomatic congenital anomalies, present considerable challenges in renal and retroperitoneal surgical contexts. The potential for significant bleeding and subsequent renal compromise upon vascular injury highlights the need for increased surgical awareness.
Objective: This study investigates the LRV's variable anatomical drainage patterns and morphometry. It also evaluates the embryological factors contributing to … Show more
