Renal fascia in normal and ectopic pelvic kidneys: Evidence-based clinical and anatomical review

The natural location of the kidney is the loin and the fascial sheaths around it gives it inherent protection against trauma and various other diseases. While there is enough evidence for fascia around well ascended normally located kidneys, there is very little evidence for its presence in ectopic...
