Upon the anterior surface, near its lower end, is a well-marked fissure, the hilus. From this emerges a vein which almost immediately joins the left renal vein. The relations of the right and left glands to the kidneys are different. The right lies like a cap upon the superior pole of the right kidney; the left is in contact with the antero-medial border of the left kidney from the hilus to the superior pole. The relation.
