Abstract:
We analyzed the type and the incidence of anomalous vessels encountered during hepatoduodenal and/or aortocaval lymph node dissection. There were 4 cases of an aberrant right hepatic artery from the superior mesenteric artery. There were 4 cases of an aberrant right hepatic artery from the gastroduodenal artery, and there were 2 types of course in aberrant right hepatic artery from the gastroduodenal artery. All hepatic artery branches should be identified before the gastroduodenal artery is ligated and divided, especially when right hepatic artery pulsation is palpated posterolaterally to common bile duct. The inferior polar renal artery from the aorta and double renal vein should be kept in mind during aortocaval lymph node dissection.
