Abstract:
Aim: Aim was to study the variations of coeliac trunk and its branches. Methodology: Fifty embalmed donated cadavers (24 male and 26 female) were dissected in Department of Anatomy. Variations in branching pattern of coeliac trunk were observed. Diameters of coeliac trunk and its branches left gastric, splenic and common hepatic arteries along with that of superior mesenteric artery were studied. Length of coeliac trunk from its origin to origin of its first branch and of its last branch were taken. Distance between origin of coeliac trunk and superior mesenteric artery was measured on abdominal aorta. Sex differences for all these parameters were also studied. Photographs were taken for proper documentation.
Results: Normal branching pattern of coeliac trunk was found in 88%. More than three branches arising from coeliac trunk were found in 8%. Incomplete coeliac trunk was found in 2% where common hepatic artery arose from superior mesenteric artery (hepatomesenteric trunk). 2% case showed absence of coeliac trunk. Mean diameter of coeliac trunk was 8.0 mm; left gastric artery 5.0 mm; splenic artery 6.9 mm; common hepatic artery 6.6 mm and superior mesenteric artery 8.3 mm. Mean length of coeliac trunk was 28.6 mm. Mean distance between coeliac trunk and superior mesenteric artery was 19.3 mm. Splenic artery diameter has shown statistically significant difference between male and female.
Conclusion: The knowledge of anatomy of coeliac trunk and its branches are of utmost importance for various surgical and radiological procedures to prevent any complications.
