Abstract

Arterial blood supply of kidney is carried out via a pair of renal arteries which are the direct branches of abdominal aorta. In a routine dissection of a 72 year old male cadaver at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka a variation of two hilar arteries with one inferior polar artery of right kidney was observed. This deviation from the normal renal arterial pattern is a rare occurrences and such knowledge of variation is essential for avoiding undue vascular and urological complications at the time of donor nephrectomy and transplant recipient.
