Abstract
Introduction: The Cystic duct is about 3 cm in length but variable. It terminates usually in the supraduodenal region into the R.H.D .But on many occasions it displays aberrations from the normal. The study is an attempt to find out the incidence of cystic duct termination by gross anatomic dissection.
Methods: The study was carried out in 100 Cadaveric liver specimen with attached extrabiliary apparatus. The sexual frequency of 45 male cadaveric and 55 female cadaveric specimens. The termination of cystic duct was studied and photographed.
Results: 90% of cystic duct terminated in the RHD. But a few opened into the LHD i.e 3% opened into the LHD.A case of double cystic duct into the RHD and a case of absent cystic duct were observed. One case of double cystic duct opening into the RHD and CHD was noted, 2 % cases of segmental ducts opening into the gall bladder was observed.
Discussion: The study was conducted to observe the percentages of different termination of cystic duct, which is quite important for G.I. surgeons operating in this area. The study has been compared with similar studies on different ethnic groups in the world.
Keywords: cystic duct, right hepatic duct, Left hepatic duct, Common hepatic duct, Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, sessile duct, common bile duct.
