A significant percentage of cadavers (36.2%) exhibit arterial variations in Calot's triangle, highlighting critical anatomical knowledge for surgeons performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Anatomy
  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy series often omit data on third structures in Calot's triangle.
  • Understanding anatomical variations is crucial for surgical safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and types of third structures within Calot's triangle.
  • To provide critical anatomical data for surgeons performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Examined 90 human cadavers over six months.
  • Utilized corrosion casting, postmortem arteriography, and cholangiography.

Main Results:

  • Arterial variations (36.2%) included early right hepatic artery division, caterpillar hump right hepatic artery, liver branch of the cystic artery, and double cystic arteries.

  • Bile duct anomalies (5.7%) involved small sectoral or right posterior hepatic ducts.
  • Venous anomalies (4%) showed veins merging with the portal vein.

    • Conclusions:

    • Accurate identification of arterial, biliary, and venous variations in Calot's triangle is essential.
    • This anatomical knowledge is critical for preventing complications during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
