Abstract
The liver encompasses the portal vein, hepatic arteries, hepatic veins, and biliary ducts, all of which display considerable anatomical variation with clinical and surgical relevance. This study aimed to summarize the anatomical variability and its impact on decision-making in surgery. A review of studies and case reports was carried out, focusing on documented anatomical variations. The most commonly observed variations were highlighted using imaging findings. The study found that the anatomy of the liver vascular and biliary system varies in up to 50% of cases; therefore, in hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery, radiology knowledge for surgeons and pre-operative planning with a specialised radiologist are particularly important. Preoperative collaboration with radiologists would allow for more accurate mapping of vascular and biliary anatomy. This review highlights the necessity of precise liver anatomy knowledge and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among radiologists, surgeons, and oncologists in improving patient outcomes.
