ABSTRACT

Introduction: The variations of the renal veins are not as common as arteries. The renal veins are formed near the hilum by the union of interlobar veins in front of the renal artery. Variant anatomy can pose a problem at both organ recovery and implantation.

Materials and Methods: This study included thorough dissection of 25 cadavers obtained from department of Anatomy, Sri Guru Ram Rai Institute of medical and health sciences Dehradun following standard guidelines. All the Variation of the right and left gonadal veins and renal veins were observed and reported.

Results: Out of 25 cadavers dissected in present study, the accessory renal veins was encountered in 5 (20%) cadavers in right side. one cadaver (4%) the right gonadal vein drains at the junction of right accessory renal vein and inferior vena cava. The right gonadal vein drains into the right renal vein in two (8%) cadavers and it also drains into the left renal vein in one cadaver (4%).

Conclusion:  The numerous variations like presence of accessory renal vein, abnormal drainage of gonadal veins were observed in this study. Incidence of variations of testicular veins was noted mostly on the right side. These variations are of clinical significance are very useful for the anatomists, radiologists, anesthesiologists, and general surgeons.

Key words: Accessory renal vein, gonadal vein, anatomical variations.
