The course of the cystic artery during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Proper recognition of the particular structures that form the triangle of Calot is essential for the proper and safe performance of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Proper recognition, ligation, and cut of the cystic duct and cystic artery with branches (dorsal and ventral) remain an integral condition for the removal of the gallbladder. Calot's triangle, as an orientation structure, determines th...

Anatomical Variations of Vertebral Artery

Introduction: Vertebral arteries arise from the root of the neck as the first branches from the superior-posterior aspect of the subclavian arteries. They ascend the neck to enter the cranial cavity and supply blood to the brain. Methods: A total of 20 cadavers (in 10 years) were dissected for the study of variations in the origin of the vertebral artery. This study was conducte...
