Abstract (AI)
Biliary anatomy and its common and uncommon variations are of considerable clinical significance when performing living donor transplantation, radiological interventions in hepatobiliary system, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and liver resection (hepatectomy, segmentectomy). Because of increasing trend found in the number of liver transplant surgeries being performed, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) has become the modality of choice for noninvasive evaluation of abnormalities of the biliary tract. The purpose of this study is to describe the anatomic variations of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary tree.
Key Findings
1
Biliary anatomical variations have important clinical implications for living-donor transplantation, hepatobiliary interventions, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and liver surgery.
2
Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) has become the preferred noninvasive modality for evaluating biliary tract abnormalities, particularly amid increasing liver transplantation activity.
3
Recognizing biliary duct variations may support safer planning and execution of hepatobiliary surgical and radiological procedures.
4
The study focuses on characterizing anatomical variations in both the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts.
