Abstract
AbstractSurgeons are comfortable with nearly all the intraabdominal structures except the liver. The reason for this is an unfamiliarity with the large intrahepatic venous structures. This arises because current educational methods, illustrations, and prepared casts are relatively unhelpful. The intrahepatic anatomy is best studied by specially prepared dissections that show the vascular structures, with their interrelationships, and the routes of access to these vessels. Forty formalin‐hardened livers were thus dissected. The fissures and portal and hepatic veins have been displayed to emphasize their relations to each other with a view to facilitating their exposure at surgery.
