Abstract
The cystic duct is known for its anatomical variability. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the anatomical variations of the cystic duct based on the number, size, and its insertion into the common hepatic duct. This study included 63 patients (32 males and 31 females). The examinations were carried out using the Siemens Type of MRCP in the Aloka Clinical Surgery Clinic in Pristina as well as at the Radiologic Clinic in the UKC University Clinical Centre of Kosova in -Prishtina. The average length of the cystic duct was 27.3 mm ranging from 10 to 54 mm. The longest cystic duct length was in patients aged 30-39 years. The average cystic duct width was 3.2 mm ranging from 2 to 6 mm. The greatest cystic width were in patients aged 20-29 years. The cystic duct in 58.7% of cases had lateral proximal insertion (males 50.0%, females 67.7%); middle lateral insertion was 11.1% (males 12.5%, females 9.7%); middle medial insertion was seen in 6.3% of males; medial distal insertion was seen in 3.2% of females; and anterior insertion was seen in 3.1% of males. In 4.8% of cases the insertion position could not be evaluated. Cystic duct anatomic variations are very important for diagnostic and therapeutic approach, because the duct is part of the Trigonum of Calot and must be handled carefully during operation.
期刊介绍:
The Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology, founded in 1901 by Giulio Chiarugi, Anatomist at Florence University, is a peer-reviewed journal sponsored by the Italian Society of Anatomy and Embryology. The journal publishes original papers, invited review articles, historical article, commentaries, obituitary, and book reviews. Its main focus is to understand anatomy through an analysis of structure, function, development and evolution. Priority will be given to studies of that clearly articulate their relevance to the anatomical community. Focal areas include: experimental studies, contributions based on molecular and cell biology and on the application of modern imaging techniques; comparative functional morphology; developmental biology; functional human anatomy; methodological innovations in anatomical research; significant advances in anatomical education. Studies that are essentially descriptive anatomy are appropriate only if they communicate clearly a broader functional or evolutionary significance. All papers should be submitted in English and must be original works that are unpublished and not under consideration by another journal. An international Editorial Board and reviewers from the anatomical disciplines guarantee a rapid review of your paper within two to three weeks after submission.
