What do the couinaud segmental anatomy do? (2)
- Provides the basis for surgical resections
2. Diagnostic designation of lesions on US and CT
What is couinaud segmental anatomy based on?
Venous anatomy
What divides the couinaud segmental anatomy in the liver? (2)
- Both the hepatic veins
2. Portal vein
Why can each segment in the liver be resected without damage?
Because they are based on their blood supply
- each segment has its own porta hepatis
What is in the centre of each segment in the liver? (3)
A branch that consists of…
- Portal vein
- Hepatic artery
- Hepatic duct
What is in the periphery of each branch segment?
Vascular flow through the hepatic veins
