hepatic duct

The two ducts join outside the liver to become the common hepatic duct.

An endoscopic cholangiogram showed obstruction within the common hepatic duct.

Laparotomy showed that the common hepatic duct had been resected erroneously.

Laparotomy showed erroneous resection of the total hepatic duct confluence.

Type III: atresia of the right and left hepatic duct.

Bile is then secreted by the liver into small ducts that join to form the common hepatic duct.

A cholangiojejunostomy with a Roux-en-Y loop was performed, with the left hepatic duct approach.

The part of the common hepatic duct that is outside the liver is called the extrahepatic bile duct.

It is formed by the union of the common hepatic duct and the cystic duct (from the gall bladder).

Common hepatic duct (leaving)

The ventral pancreas develops at the junction of the hepatic duct and the rest of the foregut.

The hepatic duct is part of the biliary tract that transports secretions from the liver into the intestines.

Lobar ducts (right and left hepatic ducts) - stratified columnar epithelium.

Benefits of adjuvant radiotherapy after radical resection of locally advanced main hepatic duct carcinoma.

The cystohepatic triangle is the area bound by the cystic duct, common hepatic duct, and the liver margin.

The bile canaliculi merge and form bile ductules, which eventually become common hepatic duct.

Bile is formed in the liver by hepatocytes (liver cells) and excreted into the common hepatic duct.

Bile flows into the right and left hepatic ducts which join together to form the common hepatic duct.

The dorsal pancreas appears first, at around day 26, opposite the developing hepatic duct, and grows into the dorsal mesentery.

The common hepatic duct then joins the cystic duct coming from the gallbladder to form the common bile duct.

An uncommon but potentially serious complication is injury to the common bile duct, which connects the cystic and common hepatic ducts to the duodenum.

Interlobar ducts (between the main hepatic ducts and the interlobular ducts) - pseudostratified columnar epithelium.

Bile can flow in both directions between the gallbladder and the common hepatic duct and the (common) bile duct.

This form of the cystic artery does not pass through the hepatobiliary triangle and has been found located both anteriorly and posteriorly to the common hepatic duct.

The treatment of choice is laparotomic surgical excision of the gallbladder, and reconstruction of the common hepatic duct and common bile duct.
