title: [The collector system of the kidney. Applied anatomy based on the analysis of 3-dimensional casts].
abstract: The kidney collector system were studied in 120 three-dimensional casts obtained by the injection-corrosion method. To the procurement of the first hundred casts, we made use of a polyester resin; however on the preparation of the last twenty we made use of a mixture containing latex and radiographic contrast as we intended to obtain, besides the casts, the roentgenograms. Two anatomic details, which have a great importance for endourology, were observed: a. the calices' cross draining the meso-renal region and the consequent inter-pelvis-calice (space (IPC) formation which is seen in the roentgenograms, b. a smaller calice which penetrates perpendicularly the surface of the renal pelvis or into the surface of a great calice. The urologists must appreciate these two anatomic structures, before the surgical procedures on the collector system.
