Some Anatomic-Topographic Features of Common and Right Hepatic Ducts and their Constituents
Journal Title: Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (MJMS) - Year 2011, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim. Anatomic-topographic features of the common duct and ducts of the right functional liver are attributes of the diagnostic-surgical and transplantation liver practice. In connection with this notion, this study has analyzed the intrahepatic schemes of branching of portal vein, hepatic artery and bile ducts on 4casts, and branching of only portal vein and bile ducts on another 9casts, all of which being prepared with the injection-corrosion method. Material and Methods. The material was obtained from post-mortem human specimens of adult individuals of both sexes. Results. The observation of the casts showed a modal and aberrant type of forming of common hepatic duct at the level of the hilum or at the lower extrahepatic level. The right hepatic duct may be absent, may be with a short bifurcation form and rarely with a significant length. Of the sectorial ducts, the trunk of the posterior duct is most commonly longer than that of the anterior one, and rarely equivalent. Usually the anterior duct lies lower and in a more anterior position, except in 1 case of infraportal position of the posterior duct in relation to the anterior branch of the portal vein. Accessory ducts have also been detected and they originated from profound parenchyma, but also supraparenchymal from the subvesical and subcapsular connective tissue. Conclusion. Common hepatic duct has shown modal and aberrant type of forming at the level of the hilum or at a lower extrahepatic level.
