Morphological and Quantitative analysis of Human Liver
Keywords:
Human liver, variations, morphology, liver typeAbstract
Introduction: Knowledge of the normal liver morphology and its variants important in the era of diagnostic imaging and minimally-invasive surgical approaches. Method: 50 formalin-fixed livers were utilised for the study. Studied liver classified according to morphological types. Result: Normal liver found in 48% cases. Remaining 52% cases found variations out of that 28% cases found liver with lingular process and 12% cases found liver with diaphragmatic surfaces. Costal liver with very small left lobe and deep impressions in 6% cases,2% cases of Liver with total atrophy of the left lobe,2% cases of Liver with deep renal impressions and “corset†type constriction and 2% cases of Liver with right lobe very much smaller than the left. Conclusion: Our study highlights variations in liver morphology ,knowledge of these important for surgeon and radiologist
