Clinical aspects of the studythe topography of human renal pyramids

Abstract

Computer three-dimensional visualization using in relation to the kidney and its structure, obtaining of three-dimensional computer kidney models and renal pyramids and using of topographic coordinates system will be the basis for individual anatomical study of diagnosis of kidney disease, will contribute to the choice of optimal medical treatment, development and individual planning surgical accesses and planning of operations, expanding the scope of minimally invasive operations with conservation as far as possible more than a healthy part of the body, and a decrease in operative time and recovery, as well as the development of new methods for prevention and diagnosis of human renal diseases. 150 human kidneys of mature and elderly age of both sexes who died after accident or died after diseases without any pathology of the urinary system were used to study the spatial arrangement of the renal pyramids.In human kidney in our material was found from 8 to 20 renal pyramids. The study used working classification of renal pyramids, based on the location of renal pyramids in parenchyma and according to opening to renal calices of the kidney. The proposed classification of renal pyramids can be used for study the spatial location and morphometric parameters of the renal pyramids, as well as to develop the most efficient surgical treatment when planning organ-saving operations on the kidney.
