The objective is to study the anatomical variations and anomalies of extra hepatic biliary system in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. These variations were tested upon 50 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In this study various anomalies of biliary system; both congenital as well as acquired, including anomalies of cystic duct, cystic artery, gall bladder, supraduodenal CBD, right and left hepatic arteries were studied. In this study the aim was to assess the anatomy of biliary tract with the help of imaging before or during cholecystectomy, so that potential complications due to various anatomical variations could be prevented.
Key Words: Anatomical variations, extra hepatic biliary system, laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
