Variant three-dimensional anatomy of the renal arteries: the clinical application

The widespread introduction of breast conserving surgery on the kidney has caused a need for information on options for the structure of the renal artery and its branches. The purpose of the study is to apply the method of volume visualization in surgery of the kidney and renal vessels through the creation of accurate and realistic representations on the basis of the multispiral computed tomography. 3D visualization of blood vessels in the kidneys of patients who had no history of pathology of the organ and its vessels, performed on the hardware-software complex «S Ray» and software package «Autoplan» developed by the staff of the Department of operative surgery and clinical anatomy course with innovative technologies, Samara state medical University. Created accurate and realistic models of the kidney and its vessels with the aid of voxel graphics revealed one of the patients plus renal artery with an unknown version of separation of one from the superior mesenteric artery, which not only increases the level of diagnosis, but also gives the ability to plan surgical intervention, conduct individual personalized analysis of access paths, with minimal risk to the patient, and to use virtual simulators with the aim of a rehearsal of basic techniques when performing operations on the kidney and its blood vessels...
