TissueDB/Tissues/Kidney

From Appropedia


The kidney is a paired retroperitoneal organ responsible for filtration, fluid balance, and waste excretion. In surgical simulation, kidney tissue analogs must replicate the organ's encapsulated parenchymal structure, cortical-medullary distinction, and vascular pedicle for nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy, and percutaneous access training.
