Abstract

Objective    To provide anatomic basis for dividing arantius ligament to expose the back of left hepatic vein.   Methods    Morphologic features of arantius ligament on 33 cadavers, especially its proximal attachment site, were observed and analyzed.    Results    The proximal attachment sites of arantius ligament were variant. The dorsal side of left hepatic vein could be dissected succefully.   Conclusions   Cuting the arantius ligament is reliable for exposing  of left hepatic vein.
