Abstract The extrahepatic bile duct morphometry was determined by the analysis of the colangiographies performed at Medimar Imaging Services SRL of the “St. Andrei “in Constanta on a General Electric Brightspeed Select CT scanner 16 slides. For the left liver duct found a caliber of 3.5-6.6 mm, its length ranging from 4.2-24.9 mm, and the right hepatic duct had a caliber ranging from 4.2-7.2 mm, the length being between 3.0-25.0 mm. At the confluence of the two hepatic ducts an angle of 35.0-124.1° was formed. In the common hepatic duct we found a caliber of 3.9-9.7 mm, in length between 20.2-52.9 mm. Cystic duct having a size of 2.4 to 5.5 mm, finding a length ranging from 24.6 to 66.4 mm. The angle formed at the end of the cystic duct in the hepatic duct had a value between 6.2-55.8°, and between the cystic and biliary ducts an angle of between 88.5-170.4° was formed. The coledoc duct had a caliber of 3.1-14.7 mm and a length of 19.8-57.3 mm.

AbstractLeft sided gallbladder is a rare anomaly that is often associated with other abnormal anatomy in the hepatobiliary system. One left positioned gallbladder was found in a consecutive series of 3290 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstone disease in the Mure County Emergency Hospital’s 2nd Surgery Clinic between 2005 and 2015, a prevalence of 0.03 per cent. In case of left sided gallbladder the cystic artery always crosses in front of the common bile duct from right to left. The cystic duct may open on the left or right side of the common hepatic duct. Anterograde cholecystectomy is the best choice for precise exploration of the cystic duct and cystic artery.

AbstractIntroduction. The normal anatomy of the cystic duct (CD) has been described a long time ago, but the basic description is valid up today: average length 2-4 mm, caliber 1-1.5 mm, and reduced volume by the spiral mu­­cous folds of Heister. Anatomic variants of the CD and its aberrant insertion lead to confusion during pre­opera­tive imaging examinations, and particularly to un­­pleasant situation during surgery, when the surgeon has to confirm positive identification of the anatomical struc­tures, in order to avoid iatrogenic biliary lesion. The aim of this prospective observation study was to evaluate the eventual bond between the low insertion of the CD in the common hepatic duct (CHD) and the onset of the pan­creatic cephalic carcinoma (PCC).Methods. In this study we examined 21 patients with PCC. The inclusion criteria was diagnosed PCC in ope­rable stage. The method for estimation of both, the ope­ra­bility and the site of insertion of the CD into CHD cons­isted of: ultrasonography (US), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), CT and MRI. Finally, the surgical procedure was extensive duodenopan­cre­a­tectomy, Whipple procedure. The surgical procedure was supplemented with periarterectomy and bilateral coeliac ganglienectomy in purpose of radical treat­ment and denervation.Results. Of the total of 21 patients, we revealed low in­sertion of the CD (LICD) in 6 patients (28%). In 4 pa­tients (3 male and 1 female), the LICD was presented with complete dilatation of the biliary tree, including CD, CHD and the gallbladder, while in 2 patients the CD and its low insertion were absent on the images-ERCP, CT. In these 2 patients the appearance was amid the cranial infiltration and growth of the carcinoma.Conclusions. Comparison with other reference radiolo­gical and anatomical studies, our results significantly di­ffer in the frequency of the appearance of the LICD. This may partially be due to different definitions and criteria referring to LICD. On the other hand, the observed diffe­rences may be caused by the eventually present connec­tion between the LICD and PCC. Therefore, further stu­dies with a larger number of participants are necessary (anatomical, pathological and genetic), to confirm or to deny the predicted bond between the LICD and PCC.

Left-sided gall bladder without situs inversus viscerum is a rare clinical entity. A left-sided gall bladder is a rare congenital anomaly defined as a gall bladder attached to the lower surface of the left lateral segment of the liver, to the left of the inter-lobar fissure and round ligament. We reported our experience of one cases of left-sided gall bladder in a woman aged 45 years who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute calculous cholecystitis. Left-sided gall bladder may provide an unusual surprise to the surgeons during laparoscopy as routine pre-operative studies may not always detect the anomaly. Awareness of the unpredictable confluence of the cystic duct into the common bile duct (CBD) and selective use of intraoperative cholangiography aid in the safe laparoscopic management of this unusual entity. One previous case reported had shown cystic duct opened into the common hepatic duct on its right side in a patient with left sided gall bladder.

The study concern was to establish the position of cystic duct incision/division in circumstances of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Seventy consecutive human cadavers were dissected. Corrosion casting (50) and post-mortem cholangiography (20) were employed. Cystic duct length was 34.6 mm, and in 88.6 % cases its length was 1-5 cm. Mean cystic duct diameters next to the gallbladder neck, within the valve and 5 mm proximal to the junction with the common hepatic duct were 1.95, 0.42 and 1.85 mm, respectively. Lateral cystohepatic junction was identified in 78.6%, spiral in 10% and parallel in 10%. In 90% cases the cystohepatic junction is within 4 cm of the hepatic duct junction. One case (1.43%) of cystic duct entering the right hepatic duct was identified. The valve of Heisteri consisted of three spiral turns in 73% of the cases with a range from 0 to 5. In 3/70 specimens the spiral valve did not exist.


Mirizzi syndrome is described in the 1940s as follows: partial obstruction of the secondary common hepatic duct by gallstones, impacted on the cystic duct or gallbladder infundibulum, associated with the inflammatory response that involved the cystic duct and the common hepatic duct. As it is a rare and delicate condition, differential diagnosis is extremely important, in which the patient's clinical condition is verified through anamnesis and complementary exams, where immediately after the surgical intervention can be performed. This work aims to describe, through a literature review, the clinical aspects and the surgical technique in Mirizzi Syndrome. Were used as a database for research sites containing scientific articles available online such as Virtual Health Library (VHL), Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) and PubMed. 154 articles were found through the descriptors, where after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria 11 articles remained to write the work. According to the articles surveyed, it is clear that most of them do not report the syndrome as the main diagnosis, possibly because it is a pathology with signs and symptoms very close to other diseases of the bile duct, therefore leaving the syndrome sometimes described in the context of these other diseases. Finally, it concludes that even though the preoperative diagnosis is rare, it should be suspected in individuals undergoing biliary surgery.

Purpose. Thorough understanding of biliary anatomy is required when performing surgical interventions in the hepatobiliary system. This study describes the anatomical variations of right bile ducts in terms of branching and drainage patterns, and determines their frequency. Methods. We studied 73 samples of cadaveric material, focusing on the relationship of the right anterior and posterior segmental branches, the way they form the right hepatic duct, and the main variations of their drainage pattern. Results. The anatomy of the right hepatic duct was typical in 65.75% of samples. Ectopic drainage of the right anterior duct into the common hepatic duct was found in 15.07% and triple confluence in 9.59%. Ectopic drainage of the right posterior duct into the common hepatic duct was discovered in 2.74% and ectopic drainage of the right posterior duct into the left hepatic duct in 4.11%. Ectopic drainage of the right anterior duct into the left hepatic ductal system and ectopic drainage of the right posterior duct into the cystic duct was found in 1.37%. Conclusion. The branching pattern of the right hepatic duct was atypical in 34.25% of cases. Thus, knowledge of the anatomical variations of the extrahepatic bile ducts is important in many surgical cases.
