Prevalence of anatomical variation of cystic duct among south Indian population - A cadaveric study

Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3

Abstract

Background: As recent surgical intervention around the extra hepatic biliary system is increased, a thorough knowledge of anatomy of biliary system is important to reduce the post-operative complications. The present study explains the variation around cystic duct. Materials and Methods: 50 cadavers were dissected to see the variation of cystic duct based on union, number and relation of cystic artery in calot’s triangle. Results: One cadaver showed double cystic duct and the cystic artery was passing superficial to cystic duct in calot’s triangle. Conclusion: Any deviation from the normal anatomy leads to increased incidence of post-operative complication and misidentification during cholecystectomy. The variation of cystic duct is not only important for anatomist but it is also useful for surgeons and patients.
