Kidney Transplant II: Surgical Procedure01:26

Kidney Transplant II: Surgical Procedure

Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living donor...
Kidney Transplant I: Introduction01:28

Kidney Transplant I: Introduction

A kidney transplant is a surgical approach that involves replacing a non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This procedure is often a treatment option for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The method requires careful recipient selection, including evaluating various medical and psychosocial factors. These criteria vary between transplant centers but generally include assessments of the patient's overall health, adherence to medical recommendations, and lifestyle...
Kidney Structure01:45

Kidney Structure

The kidneys are two large bean-shaped organs located in the upper abdomen. They filter the blood several times a day to remove toxins and rebalance water and electrolytes of the circulatory system via the renal veins. The kidneys receive blood directly from the heart via the renal arteries. These arteries enter the kidney at the hilum, the concave surface of the bean, where they branch and divide into smaller vessels and capillaries.

External Anatomy of the Kidney

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs in the human body that play a critical role in maintaining overall health. They filter out waste products from the blood, regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, and stimulate the production of red blood cells.
The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space on either side of the vertebral column, protected posteriorly by the 11th and 12th ribs. The right kidney sits slightly lower than the left owing to the presence of the liver...
Chronic Kidney Disease I: Introduction01:25

Chronic Kidney Disease I: Introduction

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) arises when the kidneys progressively lose their ability to function, ultimately leading to end-stage renal disease. At this advanced stage, the kidneys can no longer filter waste or maintain essential body functions, requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) through dialysis or a kidney transplant for survival.Early-stage chronic kidney disease and detection challengesIn CKD's early stages, symptoms often remain absent because healthy nephrons compensate for...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A rare congenital anomaly, ectopic pelvic kidney, was found during routine anatomical dissection. This case involved a left-sided ectopic kidney with non-rotation in an otherwise healthy adult male cadaver.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Urology
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Congenital anomalies of the urinary tract system are relatively common.
  • Ectopic kidney, a condition where a kidney is located outside its usual position, is a rare anomaly, occurring in approximately 1 in 2500 live births.
  • The left side is more frequently affected by this condition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of a left ectopic pelvic kidney with non-rotation.
  • To document the incidental finding during routine anatomical dissection.
  • To highlight the importance of anatomical variations.

Main Methods:

  • Routine dissection of an adult male cadaver in the department of anatomy.
  • Gross examination of the urinary tract system.
  • Documentation of observed anomalies.

Main Results:

  • A left ectopic pelvic kidney was identified.
  • The ectopic kidney exhibited non-rotation.
  • The right kidney was morphologically normal.
  • No other congenital anomalies were observed in the cadaver.

Conclusions:

  • This case represents a rare instance of left ectopic pelvic kidney with non-rotation.
  • Such anomalies can be incidentally discovered during anatomical studies.
  • Awareness of these variations is crucial for anatomists and clinicians.
