open access
Abstract
Relations of the main branches of the cystic artery were evaluated in 88 patients that underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy at the Department of General Surgery of the District Specialistic Hospital of Lublin. The anatomical relations of cystic duct and artery were classified into typical and variant types. Significantly more frequently variants of cystic artery were observed in women. However, the time of the procedure was not significantly related with the type of cystic artery.
