Morphometric Analysis of Common Bile Duct: A Cadaveric Study

Introduction: Though human beings look similar in their general anatomical appearances but during the investigation of a particular structure detail, it is surprising how frequently we meet one sort or another type variation. Literature reports that accurate dimensions CBD are debatable. Therefore, determination spontaneous abnormality atypical variation important and reference range plays significant role to classify normal abnormal duct. Materials Methods: A total thirty (30) cadavers were dissected at MGM Medical College Mumbai, India from Jan 2012 March 2013 for features common bile duct-like size, variations course termination. Results: The length duct varies 35.19 mm 62.43 with Mean ± SD 46.92 7.91 diameter varied between 3.65 10.31 mean value 6.50 1.77. correlation statistically insignificant (p = 0.243) Conclusion: We established diameter. Thus, exact knowledge anatomy successful hepato-biliary surgery biliary pathology.
