Abstract

The knowledge of the variations of the renal artery is important with the increasing numbers of renal transplants, vascular reconstructions and endoscopic surgeries of kidneys. In the routine educational dissection in the department of anatomy, Siddhartha Medical College, Vijayawada in the academic years (2018-2019), in a male cadaver, the accessory renal arteries were arising bilaterally below the renal arteries and supplying the lower poles of both kidneys. Knowledge of the variations of the renal arteries is important for urologists, radiologists and surgeons in general.
