The cystic artery is the key structure sought to be clipped or ligated during laparoscopic or conventional cholecystectomy. The possible complications like hemorrhage or hepatobiliary injury are always centered on the search, dissection, and clipping or ligation of the cystic artery, many a time because of possibility of variations in its course and relations to the biliary ducts. This descript...

Introduction: The knowledge and realization of the frequency and multiplicity of abnormalities of the cystic artery is aperquisite for safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Objective:To describe the morphological characteristics of the cystic artery in the triangle of Calot. Methods: Descriptive-prospective cross sectional study was performed in 200 patients, who underwent laparoscopic cholecystec...

Knowledge of the variant vascular anatomy of the subhepatic region is important for hepatobiliary surgeons in limiting operative complications due to unexpected bleeding. The pattern of arterial blood supply of 102 gallbladders was studied by gross dissection. The cystic artery originated from the right hepatic artery in 92.2% of cases. The rest were aberrant and originated from the proper hepa...
