Abstract :It is necessary to have a comprehensive knowledge about renal vascular anatomy in order to be able to apply renal surgical procedures correctly. The renal artery is a pair to feed the right and left kidneys. Its variation is common. In this study, it was aimed to group the variations and to examine them clinically. Abdominal CT findings of 532 cases examined with MDCT device were included in the study. Variation was detected in 135 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(25.3%); of 532 cases. Of these variations, 95 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(17.8%); were early branching and 40 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(7.5%); were extra renal artery variations. The presence of renal artery variation may cause complications in surgical procedures such as kidney transplantation. Knowing the variations before the intervention to be made in the region will be guiding.
