Abstract: Objective   To explore the classification and anatomical variation characteristics of adult abdominal trunk through the dissection of the recorded population samples, which providing reference for clinical surgery.    Methods    Abdominal stem dissections were performed on 44 embalmed cadavers. The shape of the branches of the celiac trunk was observed, and they were further quantified and described according to the Panagouli typing method and at the level of the vertebral body of origin.    Results    There were 5 types of celiac trunk in the anatomical specimens of our institute according to the Panagouli classification method. 36 cases (83%) had typical anatomical structure of the celiac trunk (type Ⅰ), and 8 cases (17%) had anatomical variations, of which 5 cases (11%) were classified as type Ⅲ, 1 case (2%) was classified as type IV, 1 case (2%) was classified as type Ⅴ, and 1 case (2%) was classified as type Ⅸ.    Conclusions There are many variations in the celiac trunk in adults, so it is necessary to fully evaluate them in combination with imaging before surgery to avoid injury.
