Abstract
Coeliac artery anatomy has an implication on diseases, thus a grasp of the variations in the branching pattern plays the role in the assessment of the patient. This work is undertaken to study the anatomical features of coeliac trunk like length, branching pattern and it’s anatomical variations in Rayalaseema zone of Andhra Pradesh in view of great medical and surgical importance of it. The study was conducted in the department of Anatomy of Kurnool Medical college and hospital, Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. Of the 50 specimens, manual dissection was done in 22 dissection hall cadavers and manual dissection was done in the 28 post mortem specimens regarding the origin of the coeliac trunk and its arteries. The various patterns were normal hepatolienogastric trunk in 92%, lienogastric trunk in 2%, hepatolienomesenteric trunk in 2%, coeliaco-colic trunk in 2%. 96% of specimens had complete coeliac trunk and 4% had incomplete coeliac trunk. Tripod was seen in 38% of the specimens. The supernumery branches were observed from coeliac trunk were inferior phrenic artery in 32%, dorsal pancreatic artery in 12%, superior mesenteric artery in 2% and middle colic artery in 2%. Knowledge of such variations in branching pattern of the celiac trunk is essential for liver and pancreas transplantations, pancreaticoduodenectomy, radiological abdominal interventions, laproscopic surgeries, and in trauma of the abdomen.
