Description
Abstract
Aim: The aim of the present study was to assess the morphometry of liver and its clinical implications.
Methods: The study consisted of 50 forma line fixed cadaveric liver of unknown age and sex selected from the
Department of Anatomy. Morphological features of the liver were studied and discussed under the following
parameters. All the measurements are taken in inches using a measuring tape. Vertical and transverse diameters
of Right lobe, left lobe, caudate lobe, quadrate lobe of the Liver was taken. Fissure, accessory lobe and external
surface of the liver were observed in detail and variations were noted.
Results: The mean measurement across the vertical dimension was 6.36 inch and transverse dimension was 8.2
inch. Fissures were seen in the caudate, quadrate, right and left lobe of the liver. Caudate lobe, Quadrate lobe,
right lobe, left.
Conclusion: The wide range of occurrence of morphological variations will contribute to the evolving document
of liver morphology and ultimately will be helpful for anatomists. Additionally, this may aid interventions and
surgeons to plan hepatobiliary surgeries, liver transplantation, and maximize targeted approach and curtail
confusion, thereby mitigating morbidity.
