Morphometry of the caudate process of liver

Dr. Prerna Jagdish, Dr. R. K. Ashoka

Abstract :

The liver is the second largest single organ in the human body after skin, with mass of around 1.5kg in average adult. The sickle–shaped falciform ligament on the anterior surface, divides the organ into right and left anatomical lobes. Two other lobes are seen on the visceral surface; the caudate lobe is seen superiorly and the quadrate lobe is seen inferiorly. The detailed morphometry of the caudate lobe was done. Maximum vertical length and horizontal diameter was measured for the caudate lobe along with shape for each specimen using sliding verniercalliper. The caudate lobe is one of the anatomical lobes of the liver present on its visceral surface. It is essential for both radiologists and operating surgeons to have a sound and thorough knowledge of the liver anatomy and also the common variations seen in liver.
