Coeliac trunk and its branches: anatomical variations and clinical implications.

Introduction: Knowledge of anatomical variations of the great vessels of the abdomen, including the coeliac trunk, is important for clinicians planning surgical intervention and radiological imaging. The present study aimed to record the prevalence of variations in the vascular pattern of branches of the coeliac trunk in cadavers.

Methods: A total of 50 properly embalmed and formalin-fixed cadavers from the Indian population were selected for the study.

The abdominal aorta and its branches: anatomical variations and clinical implications.

Background: Vascular variations regarding the branching pattern of the aorta are important in different laparoscopic surgeries, liver and kidney transplantation, oncologic resections, and various interventional radiological procedures in the abdominal region. The present work was undertaken on cadavers to examine the prevalence of vascular patterns of the important branches of the abdominal aorta.

Material And Methods: A total of 50 properly embalmed and formalin fixed cadavers were dissected in the abdominal region, and viscera were mobilised to expose the origin of important branches of the abdominal aorta.

Anatomical variations of peroneal muscles: a cadaver study in an Indian population and a review of the literature.

Background: Persistent lateral ankle pain is a common presentation in clinics. Various studies on anatomical variations of the peroneal compartment muscles, including the peroneus quartus muscle, have been reported in different populations. However, such studies are rarely from India.

Variations in the anatomy of the thyroid gland: clinical implications of a cadaver study.

Surgical removal of the thyroid gland is associated with risk of damage to the parathyroid glands, external branch of superior laryngeal nerves, inferior laryngeal nerves, and haematoma due to vascular damage and the chance of residual thyroid tissue being left in case of cancer and Graves' disease. The present study was designed to report the prevalence of anatomical variations and developmental anomalies of the thyroid gland that will hopefully help to minimise the aforementioned complications related to thyroid surgery. A total of 52 male and 18 female properly embalmed cadavers were dissected.

Double ureter and duplex system: a cadaver and radiological study.

Purpose: To study the prevalence of duplex system and double ureter in cadavers and intravenous pyelograms in Indian population.

Materials And Methods: Fifty cadavers were dissected and 50 intravenous pyelograms were examined on both (right and left) sides for the presence of duplex system and double ureter.

Results: One male cadaver aged 43 years showed complete double ureter and duplex system on the right side and incomplete double ureter and duplex system on the left side.
