Variations of the intrahepatic bile ducts: application in living related liver transplantation and splitting liver transplantation

摘要: The variations in the anatomy of intrahepatic bile ducts complicate operations living related liver transplantation (LRLT) and therefore preoperative delineation biliary system is important to achieve a successful outcome. aim this study was establish standard relationship between methods graft splitting anastomosis. Of 958 endoscopic retrograde cholangiographies with good visualization duct branches were selected available for evaluation their ramifications variants. According drainage right hepatic left duct, we classified into two major groups. Unusual routes present 105 cases (11% group A) sectoral drained directly; 200 (21% groups B) segment IV side or common duct; 29 (3% segment: II III CBD separately. There no specific variation that forbids someone from LRLT SLT, but unusual may require change both cutting plane during retrieval pattern ductoenteral anastomosis avoid potential complications donors recipients.
