EXTRAHEPATIC BILIARY DUCTAL VARIATIONS AND ITS CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 30
Abstract
BACKGROUND Incidence of liver and Gallbladder diseases are significantly increasing in recent years. Cholecystectomy either by laparoscopic or open is the commonest surgical procedure performed by General surgeon. Liver Transplantation is emerging as one of the top most transplantation surgery as well. Variations in anatomy of Gallbladder, bile ducts and the arteries that supply them and liver are important to the surgeon, because failure to recognize them may lead to inadvertent ductal ligation, biliary leaks, haemobilia, haemorrhage and strictures after cholecystectomy and may complicate Liver transplantation surgeries. Recognition of these anomalies and normal variants may avoid diagnostic errors, aid in surgical planning and prevent inadvertent ductal injury. OBJECTIVES To study the variations in Extrahepatic Biliary Ductal system with its clinical significance. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Extrahepatic biliary ductal system studying under various methods are established; many variations in this region and understanding of these variations is undoubtedly important for operating surgeons. Starting from open cholecystectomy or laparoscopic cholecystectomy to cadaveric liver harvesting to recent advances like “Living donor liver transplantation with duct-toduct anastomosis” (LDLT), grading of tumours like hilar cholangiocarcinoma requires definitive knowledge of the anatomy of the ductal and arterial system. Hence, we believe this study is not only confined to anatomists, but definitely be a useful guideline for general and laparoscopic surgeons, oncosurgeons and to transplant surgeons.
