Abstract :

Morphometric study of liver has immense importance due to its involvement in infective as well as metabolic disorders. In the present study we measured shape, weight, height, thickness of right and left lobe of the liver as well as parameters of the gall bladder fossa. These important indicators are essential for radiological, pathological and medicinal diagnosis. The statistical analysis of above parameters was done by �t� test. The weight of liver specimens varied from 407.5gm to 1502gm and was found to be significant with p value <0.001.The overall height of right and left lobes of the livers was also found to be significant with p value <0.001. The majority of the livers were wedge shaped.
