Abstract

The aim of the study is to study state the incidence of various anomalies encountered in the extra hepatic duct system. The cadaver’s chest and abdomen was opened by a long standard midline incision extending from chin to suprapubic region. The small intestine and stomach were retracted downward and laterally towards left, so that the hepatoduodenal ligament was stretched to expose its contents properly. Results: The right and left hepatic ducts from the corresponding lobes of liver unite to form common hepatic duct either extrahepatically or intrahepatically. Conclusion: Cystic duct joins the common hepatic duct as angular type of union in 75% of cases. Cystic duct joins the common hepatic duct at a point in which it makes common hepatic duct shorter and common bile duct longer. This is considering as normal of union. Cystic artery arising from the coeliac right hepatic artery is seen inside the calot's triangle dividing into superficial and deep branches to Supply the respective surfaces of gall bladder is noted to be the commonest arrangement. Right hepatic artery arises from hepatic proper and seen to the left side of duct system.
