Abstract :

INTRODUCTION– Intrahepatic bile duct anatomy shows many variations. Preoperative knowledge of intrahepatic bile duct anatomy is critical for planning liver resection, liver transplantation and complex biliary reconstructive surgery. AIM– The purpose of the study is to know the prevalence of variations in our population. MATERIAL & METHOD– MRCP was conducted on 200 adult patient and were evaluated retrospectively. RESULT– In 200 adult patients 108 were female and 92 were male. Out of 200 patients Huang Type A1 were found in 138 patients [69%], type A2 in 26 patients [13%] ,type A3 in 16 patients [8%], typeA4 in 8 patients [4%] and none of the patient was of A5 type. 12 patients [6%] show other type of variations. CONCLUSION– Intrahepatic bile duct anatomy is complex with many common and uncommon variations. Accurate knowledge of the biliary anatomy and its variation is needed to plan the surgery and minimize post operative complications
