Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: Detailed knowledge of Anatomical variations of lungs in form of Accessory lobes and abnormalities in the fissures are important for the surgeon to avoid possible injuries to the neighboring structures, radiologists to be able to correctly interpret radiological images and clinicians in planning segmental resection or pulmonary lobectomy and to have an uncomplicated perioperative outcome. AIM AND OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to provide a thorough description on Accessory lobe of Right Lung. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study was conducted on 22 pairs of (22 right and 22 left) lungs of formalin fixed human cadaver. RESULTS: Accessory lobe of Right lung between middle and lower lobe was found in one cadaver. The onchus, anch of Pulmonary artery and tributaries of Pulmonary vein of Accessory lobe were found to originate from Lower lobe anches and they are not found to be separate. Fissures and Lobes of remaining Right and Left lungs were normal. CONCLUSION: Anatomical knowledge of Morphological variations of lobes and fissures are essential for Radiologists and Cardiothoracic surgeons .Hence awareness of variations of lobes, like accessory lobe and variations in fissures are important for Cardiothoracic surgeons in identifying Broncho pulmonary segments and for performing lobectomies and surgical resection of individual segments, and for Radiologists in diagnosing Radiological images.
