Article Synopsis
- The hepatic portal vein (HPV) collects blood from several organs including the liver and intestines, and plays a key role in metabolizing blood components.
- The study aimed to analyze the characteristics of HPV variants and their clinical implications, utilizing multiple databases and data from 31 studies, focusing mostly on research from Europe and Asia.
- Findings revealed varying prevalence of HPV anatomical variants, which are important for medical professionals to consider in diagnosis and surgical procedures due to their potential impact on abdominal cavity health.
Background: Situs inversus is a rare congenital anatomical variant that involves a group of anomalies regarding the arrangement of intrathoracic and intraabdominal organs.
