Prerenal fascia

Prerenal fascia (Latin fascia prerenalis, English renal fascia) is a fascial formation that surrounds the kidney and adrenal gland. It is an important anatomical element that plays an important role in the functioning of the kidneys and adrenal glands.

The prerenal fascia starts from the lower pole of the kidney and runs down to the adrenal gland. It consists of several layers, including connective tissue, fatty tissue and blood vessels. Fascia has several functions that are related to its anatomical location.

Firstly, the fascia performs a protective function, protecting the kidney and adrenal gland from damage and injury. Secondly, it provides blood supply and innervation to organs, and also provides communication between them and other structures of the abdominal cavity. Third, it can serve as a site for the formation of tumors, such as kidney or adrenal cancer.

During operations on the kidneys and adrenal glands, the fascia preferra should be taken into account to avoid damage to these important organs. In some cases, such as when removing a tumor, an incision in the fascia may be necessary. However, this must be done with care to avoid damaging surrounding structures.

In general, the fascia prerenalis is an important anatomist for understanding the functioning of the kidneys and adrenal glands, as well as for performing surgical operations on these organs.
