Detailed explanation-1: -It is roughly bean-shaped with an indentation, called the hilum, on the medial side. The hilum leads to a large cavity, called the renal sinus, within the kidney. The ureter and renal vein leave the kidney, and the renal artery enters the kidney at the hilum.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hilum of Kidney: Notched or indented area on each kidney. Area where ureter, nerves, blood vessels, and lymph vessels enter and leave the kidney.
Detailed explanation-3: -The renal hilum is a vertical slit on the medial border of the kidney, which is bound by the thick lips of the renal substance [1]. Classically, the topographic arrangement of the hilar structures is referred to in the antero-posterior sense, as its vein-artery-pelvis [2].
