Gross anatomy. The renal pelvis is triangular in shape, lies posteriorly in the renal hilum surrounded by fat and vessels and is formed by the either the union of two-to-three major calyces or of seven-to-eleven minor calyces.
Infundibulum - the infundibulum is the passage from the calyx to the renal pelvis. A single infundibulum may accept urine from several calyces. A kidney will usually have three to seven infundibulae. Lower pole - the bottom part of the collecting system. Stones in this location are generally the most difficult to treat. Stone fragments tend to persist in this location and act as seeds of recurrent stones. Medulla - inner solid portion of kidney where urine is formed and concentrated. Mid pole - middle portion of the collecting system usually composed of infundibulae which often drain a single calyx. Middle Ureter - the portion of the ureter which overlies the bony pelvis.
