Abstract:
It is very important that we must know the detailed calyceal anatomy for performing effective and safe endourological procedures and interpretation of excretory urograms. So, we got thorough 2-dimensional calyceal anatomy and renal rotation from 100 kidneys using 64 abdominal CT scans. We conclude that the differences of calyceal angles and posterior rotation between both kidneys are significant statistically. Also, we examined the morphologies of 232 pelviocalyceal systems and classified them.
