We recently had opportunities to treat patients with intrarenal vascular lesions. We report our experiences with midkidney resection for cirsoid-type arteriovenous malformation, aneurysmectomy for intrarenal aneurysm and endofistulorrhaphy for intrarenal arteriovenous fistula which occurred after percutaneous renal biopsy. For cirsoid type arteriovenous malformation, operative techniques used in 6 cases, differentiation from tumor and indications for midkidney resection were described. For intrarenal aneurysm, the literature was reviewed regarding opperative indication, its relation with hypertension and spontaneous rupture. For arteriovenous fistula, historical outline and recent techniques of operative repair were described.
