Anatomical Variations of the Renal Artery Based on the Surgeon's Direct Observation: A French Perspective

•Renal arterial vasculature presents a great anatomical variation.•Some small arteries may be missed when using radiological techniques.•Anatomical variations of the renal artery can be described by surgeons themselves during aortic dissection in multi-organ procurement (MOP).•MOP can be considered as an accurate and reliable method of describing renal arterial anatomy.
