POSITION OF KIDNEY
Kidneys are retroperitoneal paired

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

organs.
? Each kidney lies , on the posterior

abdominal wall, lateral to the

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

vertebral column
? In the supine position, the kidneys

extend from approximately T12 toL3.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? The right kidney is slightly lower

than the left kidney because of the

large size of the right lobe of the liver.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? With contraction of the diaphragm

during respiration, both kidneys

move downward in a vertical

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

direction (high of one vertebra, 1

inch,2.5 cm).

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

COLOUR, SHAPE & DIMENSIONS

? The kidney is a reddish brown, bean-sh

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

aped organ with the dimensions 12 x 6 x

3cm.
? Although they are similar in size and

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

shape, the left kidney is slightly longer

and more slender than the right kidney,

and nearer to the midline.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? Each kidneys has:Convex upper & lower

ends.
Convex lateral border &Convex medial

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

border at both ends, but its middle shows

a vertical slit called the hilum.Internally

the hilum extends into a large cavity called

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

the renal sinus.


HILUM & RENAL SINUS

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? The hilum transmits, from ant
erior to posterior, the renal vei
n, renal artery & the ureter (VAU).

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? Lymph vessels & sympathetic
fibers also pass through the hilum.

? The renal sinus contains the upper

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

expanded part of the ureter called

the renal pelvis.

? Perinephric fat is continues into the

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

hilum and the sinus and
surrounds all these structures.

INTERNAL STRUCTURE

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

INTERNAL STRUCTURE
? Each kidney consists of an

outer renal cortex and an

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

inner renal medulla.
? The renal cortex is a

continuous band of pale tissue

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

that completely surrounds the

renal medulla.
? Extensions of the renal

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

cortex,the renal columns

project into the inner aspect of

the kidney,dividing the renal

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

medulla into discontinuous

aggregations of triangular-

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

shaped tissue, the renal

pyramids.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

The bases of the renal pyramids are

directed outward, toward the cortex,

while the apex of each renal pyramid

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

projects inward, toward the renal

sinus.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? The apical projection (renal
papilla) is surrounded by a minor

calyx

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? In the renal sinus, several
minor calices unite to form a major

calyx, and two or three major calices

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

unite to form the renal pelvis, which
is the funnel-shaped superior end of

the ureters

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

ARTERIAL SUPPLY

The renal artery arises from the aorta

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

at the level of the second lumbar

vertebra.
? Each renal artery divides into 5

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

segmental arteries that enter the hilum

of the kidney, 4 in front of the renal

pelvis and one behind it.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? They are distributed to the different

segments of the kidney.
? Each segmental artery gives rise to

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

number of lobar arteries, each supplies

a renal pyramid.
? Before entering the renal substance,

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

each lobar artery gives off two or three

interlobar arteries.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? The interlobar arteries run

toward the cortex on each side

of the renal pyramid.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? At the junction of the cortex

and the medulla, the Interlobar

arteries give off the arcuate

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

arteries, which arch over the

bases of the pyramids.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? The arcuate arteries give off

several interlobular arteries

that ascend inthe cortex and

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

give off the afferent glomerular

arterioles

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

Segmental branches &

vascular segments of

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

kidneys(e.g. Left)

Each kidney has 5

segmental branches and is

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

divided into 5 vascular

segments:

URETER

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

INTRODUCTION

? The ureter is a narrow, thick

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

walled, expansile muscular

tube.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? Conveys urine from the kidney

to the urinary bladder.

? The urine is propelled from the

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

kidney to the urinary bladder

by the peristaltic contractions

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

of the smooth muscle of the

wall of the ureter.
Measurements

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? Length: 25 cm (10 inches).

? Diameter: 3 mm.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

COURSE IN ABDOMINAL PART

? The ureter begins as a

downward continuation of a

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

funnel shaped renal pelvis at

the medial margin of the

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

lower end of the kidney.

? The ureter passes

downward and slight medially

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

on the psoas major, which

separates it from the

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

transverse processes of the

lumbar vertebrae.

? Enters the pelvic cavity by

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

crossing in front of the

bifurcation of the common

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

iliac artery at the pelvic brim

in front of the sacroiliac joint.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

COURSE IN PELVIS

? In the pelvis, the ureter first runs

downward, backward, and laterally

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

along the anterior margin of the

greater sciatic notch.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? Opposite to the ischial spine, it

turns forward and medially to reach

the base of the urinary bladder.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? Where it enters the bladder wall

obliquely.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? Within the bladder wall, it narrows

down,takes a sinuous course, and

opens into the cavity of the bladder

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

at the lateral angle of its trigone as

ureteric orifice.
PARTS AND RELATIONS

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? The ureter is generally divided into two parts: abdominal

and pelvic.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? Each part is about the same length, i.e., 12.5 cm (5 inches).

? The abdominal part of ureter extends from the renal pelvis

to the bifurcation of the common iliac artery.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? The pelvic part of the ureter extends from the pelvic brim

(at the level of bifurcation of the common iliac artery) to the

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

base of the urinary bladder.


RELATIONS OF ABDOMINAL PART

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

Medially the right ureter is related to inferior vena

cava and left ureter is related to left gonadal vein

and inferior mesenteric vein.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

RELATIONS OF PELVIC PART

? The pelvic part of the ureter crosses in front of

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

all the nerves and vessels on the lateral pelvic wall

except vas deferens, which crosses in front of it.

? Near the uterine cervix, the uterine artery lies

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

above and in front of it, a highly important surgical

relationship.
SITES OF ANATOMICAL

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

NARROWINGS/CONSTRICTIONS

The lumen of the ureter is not uniform throughout and presents three

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

constrictions at the following sites.

1. At the pelviureteric junction where the renal pelvis joins

the upper end of ureter. It is the upper most constriction,

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

found approximately 5 cm away from the hilum of kidney.

2. At the pelvic brim where it crosses the common iliac artery.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

3. At the uretero-vesical junction (i.e., where ureter enters

into thebladder).

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? In addition to above

three sites of

constrictions, two more

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

sites of constrictions

are described by the

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

surgeons.

1. At juxtaposition of

the vas

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

deferens/broad

ligament.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

2. At the ureteric orifice.


ARTERIAL SUPPLY

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? The ureter derives its arterial

supply from the branches of all the

arteries related to it. The

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

important arteries supplying

ureter from above downward are:

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

1. Renal.

2. Testicular or ovarian.

3. Direct branches from aorta.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

4. Internal iliac.

5. Vesical (superior and inferior).

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

6. Middle rectal.

7. Uterine.
? VENOUS DRAINAGE

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

The venous blood from the ureter is drained into

the veins corresponding to the arteries.

? LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

The lymph from the ureter is drained into lateral

aortic and iliac nodes.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? NERVE SUPPLY

1. The sympathetic supply of the ureter is derived

from T12?L1 spinal segments through renal, aortic,

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

and hypogastric plexuses.

2. The parasympathetic supply of ureter is derived

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

from S2?S4 spinalsegments through pelvic

splanchnic nerves.
Clinical correlation

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Mobilization of ureter: Branches of the arteries supplying

the ureter form an anastomosis in the fat and fascia around the ureter.

Therefore, surgeons should bear in their mind that stripping off this

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

fascia, while mobilizing the ureter for transplantation, will hamper the

blood supply of the ureter and may cause its necrosis.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? Identification of ureter: Ureter is a muscular structure, and

in life waves of muscular contractions produce a worm-like rhythmic

movement (peristalsis) thus milking urine toward the bladder. The

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

ureter is readily identified in life by its thick muscular wall which is

seen to undergo worm-like writhing movements, especially when it is

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

gently stroked or Squeezed.
Clinical correlation

? Ureteric calculus is likely to lodge at one of the sites of anatomical

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

narrowings of the ureter particularly:

(a) At the pelvic ureteric junction.

(b) Where it crosses the pelvic brim.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

(c) In the intramural part--the narrowest part.

? Injury to ureters: According to Kenson and Hinman, the ureter may

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

be injured at one of the following four dangerous sites:

(a) Point where the ureter crosses the iliac vessels.

(b) In the ovarian fossa.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

(c) Where the ureter is crossed by the uterine artery (most dangerous

site) as damage is likely at this site during hysterectomy.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

(d) At the base of the bladder.
