Anatomy of the Human Liver, Role of the Segmentary Portal Branch V

Abstract

Durand Lopez Cesar Augusto* and Juana Raquel Durand Fernandez

This Review is about the liver anatomy research around the world. Novelty findings in embryologic, tomographic images and dissection lead to a new concept: the liver has seven portal segments, and the segment V play an important role. The liver is a highly vascular organ. However, literature features only schematic descriptions of the intrahepatic anatomy based on theories that currently confuse radiologists and surgeons.
