Question:

How is anatomy of biliary tree?

Author: H K



Answer:

Intrahepatic ducts converge to become the right and left hepatic ducts. Right and left hepatic ducts converge, forming the common hepatic duct. Cystic duct comes off the gallbladder and joins the common hepatic duct to become the common bile duct (CBD). CBD empties into the duodenum via the ampulla of Vater. Calot’s triangle: Inferior border of the liver, common hepatic duct, and cystic duct. The cystic artery runs through it, and the associated lymph node is called Calot’s node. The right hepatic artery is adjacent to the cystic duct in Calot’s triangle and, as such, is susceptible to injury during cholecystectomy The proximal end of the gallbladder near the cystic duct is called the infundibulum (Hartman’s pouch), and the larger distal end of the gallbladder is called the fundus. The gallbladder collects bile directly from the liver via small bile ducts called ducts of Luschka.
