| Hepatobiliary tree

This
anterior view of the hepatobiliary tree shows the relation of duodenum,
pancreas, spleen, and liver. The biliary ductal system is shown, including
the intrahepatic and extrahepatic course of its main branches and the
gallbladder. Two of the three arterial branches that originate from the
celiac trunk are presented. The liver has been moved slightly from its
proper anatomical position to expose the structures of the portal triad
contained in the hepatoduodenal portion of the lesser omentum. The portal
vein is not shown in this stage of the sketch. This drawing is part of the Upper Gastrointestinal lecture. In this lecture all gastrointestinal structures from esophagus to ileum are covered, along with pathology and related surgeries, open and laparoscopic. These include Barret's esophagus, gastroesophageal reflux, gastric hyperacidity, intestinal ileus, etc. The same sketch can be used for a detailed lecture on hepatobiliary pathology and cholecystectomy. |
