Renal Vascular and Ureteral Anatomic Variations in 1859 Potential Living Renal Donors

Abstract

Background. Renal vascular and ureteral anomalies detected by preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) are important for determining the side of the donor nephrec-tomy and the optimal surgical technique. In the present study, we aimed to examine the renal vas-cular and ureteral variations in living kidney donor candidates.
