Riabushko UKRAINIAN MEDICAL STOMATOLOGICAL ACADEMY, POLTAVA, UKRAINE ABSTRACT The aim of the paper was the study of the structure of the basic parts of the gallbladder wall of humans and animals of different classes in a comparatively anatomical aspect using the bibliographic analysis of literature sources. Materials and methods: of the study was the contemporary publications on the anatomical and histological structure of the human and animal gallbladder wall mucosa, studied using the analysis, synthesis and summarizing of the obtained information. Conclusions: Basically, the structure of the gallbladder wall mucosa in humans and animals of different classes has much in common; however there are also significant differences depending on the natural type of nutrition. Structural organization of the gallbladder wall in animals in comparison with humans has individual features and depends on the type of nutrition.

  • Variation of Cystic Duct Insertion in Relation to the Extrahepatic Ducts
    AbeshaAmbaye et al. / International Journal of Pharma Sciences and Research (IJPSR) Variation of Cystic Duct Insertion in Relation to the Extrahepatic Ducts and Observed Frequency of Double Lumen Apparent Common Bile Duct AbeshaAmbaye1, MueezAbraha2,Bernard A. Anderson2, Amanuel T. Tsegay1 Anatomy Course and Research Team, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, College of Health Sciences, Mekelle University Dep’t of Anatomy, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Ethiopia email [email protected] ABSTRACT Background: Variations in the pattern of the extra hepatic biliary tract are common and usually encountered during radiological investigations or during operations on the biliary tree. Having a good knowledge of the possible connections of the cystic duct with the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct is very important; because variation in this area is common. Objectives: The main aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of anatomic variations of the cystic duct insertion in relation to the extrahepatic ducts and Observed Frequency of Double Lumen Apparent Common Bile Duct Methods: Institutional based cross-sectional study design with observational data collection tool was conducted in 25 Ethiopian fixed cadavers and Forensic autopsy specimens obtained from Departments of Human Anatomy at University of Gondar, Mekelle and St. Paul Hospital Millennium Medical College Result: From the total 25 specimens dissected 9 (36%) had the ACBD and the 16 (64%) of them had CBD with one lumen. Conclusion: The billiary system formation is very variable, among the variants; the number of the supradoudenal insertion is greater than the infradoudenal insertion. ACBD is more frequent than expected which is 36% of the total data.

    ueg education Mistakes in… 2020 Mistakes in pancreatobiliary imaging and how to avoid them Marianna Arvanitakis and Martina Pezzullo Multidetector computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) are cross-sectional imaging modalities largely used for patients with pancreatobiliary diseases.1–3 Despite recent technological advances, correct use and interpretation of related radiological findings require good clinical judgment and collaboration between gastroenterologists and radiologists. In this article, we highlight mistakes frequently made during the radiological investigation and interpretation of findings in patients with suspected pancreatobiliary diseases, based on the available literature and on our clinical experience.

ABSTRACT Variations in the anatomy of the gallbladder, the bile ducts, and the arteries that supply them and the liver are important to the surgeon, because failure to recognize them can cause iatrogenic injury to the biliary tract. A surgeon should be always be careful while operating in this area. In addition these anomalies are associated with a range of other congenital anomalies, including biliary atresia and cardiovascular or other gastrointestinal malformations, biliary lithiasis, choledochal cyst, anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction etc, so a look out for other anomalies should be carried out simultaneously.
