Surgical Significance of Variations in Celiac Trunk Branching Pattern A Research Study

Dr. Naveena Swargam

Abstract :

 Knowledge  of  anatomical  variations  in  anching  pattern  of  great  vessels  of  abdomen,  including  the  coeliac  trunk,  is  important  for  clinicians  in  planning  surgical  interventions  and  radiological imaging.  The  present  study  aimed  to  record  the  prevalence  of  variations  in  the  vascular  pattern  of  coeliac  trunk  anches  in  cadavers.  During  routine  dissection  on  cadavers  in  Anatomy  department,  the  present  author  found  some  variations  in  the  anching  pattern  of  the  coeliac  trunk.  The  splenic  artery  and  cystic  artery  were  seen  originating  from  superior  mesenteric  artery  in  different  cadavers  instead  of  their  usual  origins  from  coeliac  trunk  and  right  hepatic  artery  respectively.  Anatomical  variations  in  the  origin  of  coeliac  trunk  anches  can  significantly  alter  the  surgical  management  of  the  upper abdomen.  Hence,  the  clinicians  and  radiologists  should  be  aware  of  such  aberrant  vascular  anatomy  so  as  to  reduce  the  incidence  of  surgical  complications.
