A Brief Case Study on Anatomical Variations in the Extra Hepatic Biliary System | Chapter 10 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 3

The biliary system's anatomy has long been the subject of extensive study. They have drawn a lot of interest because of their surgical significance in cholecystectomies and how easily they may be investigated. The extrahepatic bile ducts have drawn a lot of attention, but there hasn't been much study on them in India. Examining the anatomical variations in the extrahepatic biliary system in Indian cadaveric specimens was the aim.

The study included 30 enbloc post-mortem specimens and 20 adult dissecting room cadavers. Cadaver samples from the dissecting room were analysed. Post-mortem enbloc specimens were given by the Department of Forensic Medicine at the Madurai Medical College in Madurai. They were examined by traditional means, including dissection.

98 percent of the people had normal hepatoduodenal duct structural arrangements, whereas 2 percent had aberrant ones. In 14% of the samples, accessory ducts were discovered. A double and an auxiliary cystic artery were both found in 2% of the patients. In 8% of the people, the cystic artery had an unusual course and division. The right hepatic artery's course and division were irregular in 4% of the people. In 2% of the people, Calot's triangle borders were determined to be aberrant. In 10% of Calot's triangle patients, aberrant accessory hepatic ducts are discovered. Anatomical variances in the extrahepatic biliary system are common, and surgeons must be fully aware of them to avoid harming important structures during operations and provide superior surgical results.
