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.

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.

Background: Cystic duct drains the bile from the gallbladder into the common bile duct. Gallstone disease is one of the most common problems affecting the digestive tract and may lead to many complications. To avoid the complications in these patients the gallbladder is removed surgically (Cholecystectomy). Ligation of cystic duct and cystic artery is a prerequisite procedure when cholecystectomy is done. Understanding about the normal anatomy & the possible variations in biliary ductal system is important for the surgeons for doing cholecystectomy surgery successfully. Errors during gallbladder surgery commonly result from failure to appreciate the common variations in the anatomy of the biliary system. Aim of the study: To find out the incidence of variations in the length, course, and termination of cystic duct in cadavers. Materials and Methods: Present study was done in 50 adult cadavers in the Department of Anatomy, Government Tiruvannamalai medical college, Tamilnadu. Meticulous dissection was done in the hepatobiliary system of these cadavers. Observations: During the study variations in the length of cystic duct, course and different modes of insertion of cystic duct were observed. Conclusion: Knowledge of variations in the length of cystic duct and knowing about different modes of course & insertion of cystic duct is necessary for surgeons while conducting cholecystectomy. The risk of iatrogenic injury is especially high in cases where the biliary anatomy is misidentified prior to surgery. KEY WORDS: Cystic duct, Gallbladder, Cholecystectomy.

Background: Congenital anamolies of extrahepatic biliary apparatus and pancreas have long been recognized and are of clinical importance because when present may surprise the surgeon during surgery and lead to iatrogenic injuries. Surgeries on extra-hepatic biliary apparatus and pancreas are regularly performed throughout the world. Thus insight into the normal anatomy and congenital variations will reduce complication and definitely improve outcome.Methods: Study was conducted in department of surgery GMC Bhopal and dissection was carried out in Department of Forensic Medicine on 100 cadavers with approval from ethical committee.Results: In 100 cases 70 were male and 30 female. The most common variation in extra hepatic biliary apparatus was short cystic duct was found in 6% cases then formation of common hepatic duct by union of right hepatic duct and left hepatic duct was intrahepatic in 3% cases. There was low insertion of cystic duct with common hepatic duct in 1% case. Cystic artery originating from left hepatic artery in 1% case, in 1% case cystic artery was anterior to common hepatic duct. In Pancreas anterior arterial arcade was absent in 2% cases and its origin varied in 2% case. Posterior pancreatic arcade absent in 1% cases and variation in origin was present in 1% case. The variation in pancreatic duct course was present in 22% cases.Conclusions: Thus significant variation was seen and it could definitely be helpful to hepatobiliary, laproscopic surgeons, radiologist and will further contribute to literature on variation of extrahepatic biliary apparatus and pancreas and its related vessels.
