[Anatomo-surgical assumptions in typical hepatic resections]

The synthetic resin moulds of the human normal livers permit the schematization of the distribution and the disposition of the vascular elements of the hepatic tree. The authors have described all the segments and sectors of the ilus in their modal disposition that are important from the point of view of the operation. Beside that, they have pointed out the presence of anastomosis, at the level of the ilaris plate and the existence of anastomotical ramifications between the right and left sectors, and the close dependence of each sector from his own vascular ilus. The authors emphasize the importance of this observation from the surgical point of view.
