A good knowledge about the incidence and types of variations is
of fundamental importance to the surgeries in the biliary region.
Ignorance of these anomalies can be of serious consequences
to the patient in case of both the new laparoscopic procedures
as well as old open surgeries performed in this region and
any surgeon should be fully aware of the great number of
problems in this region as far as the variation from normal
these variations can be passed on to the surgical trainees who
in this potentially dangerous region. The importance of these
anomalies is further enhanced by the fact that in modern day
surgeries like bile duct resection, hepatic duct resection or liver
transplantation requires serious recognition to the normal and
abnormal.
