Abstract

Background: Biliary ductal region being frequently abnormal has been the subject of research since long time for anatomists, surgeons and radiologists as well.

Methods: The present study was carried out in the department of Anatomy at PGIMS, Rohtak on 50 specimens of liver taken unblock with associated structures.

Results: Accessory hepatic and accessory cystic ducts were observed in 4% cases each. 2% cases exhibited abnormal low fusion of cystic duct with common hepatic duct.

Conclusions: These anomalies may add to postoperative complications if ignored. Present study is a step in the direction of creating awareness about these variations among the clinicians.
