ANATOMICAL VARIATIONS OF RIGHT LIVER GRAFTS FROM LIVING DONORS AT 108 MILITARY CENTRAL HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To describe the anatomical variations of right liver grafts from living donors. Subjects and Methods: Description of the characteristics of 55 right liver grafts from living donors from January 2022 to December 2022 at the 108 Military Central Hospital. All patients underwent surgery according to a standardized protocol. Results: There were 29 males and 26 females participating in the study. The rates of patients with anatomical variations of the portal vein, biliary tract, and hepatic artery were 5.5%, 10.9%, and 25.5%, respectively. Regarding the portal vein, there were 2 cases of type B and 1 case of type C. Regarding the biliary tract, the rates of types 3a, 3b, 4a, and 4b were 1.8%, 3.6%, 1.8%, and 3.6%, respectively. Regarding the hepatic artery, there were 4 cases of type 3b and 3 cases of type 2a. Regarding the hepatic veins, types 4a and 4b were predominantly observed, with rates of 50.9% and 40.0%, respectively. Conclusion: Donor liver grafts have a high rate of anatomical variations in the hepatic veins, the hepatic artery and low rates in the portal vein and biliary tract.
