Abstract
Hepatic artery variations are common clinical occurrences. Injury to these variant arteries during gastric cancer surgery is mostly caused by their unknown anatomy. These complications can cause serious problems and therefore, recognizing these variations in the preoperative period for minimizing the risk of injury is very important. In the present study, we present a rare hepatic artery anomaly found during a preoperative computed tomography evaluation of a patient who underwent gastric cancer surgery. Detailed examination of patients with preoperative computed tomography evaluation and obtaining three-dimensional angiographic image sections in the case of doubts is useful for preventing hepatic artery injuries
Özet
Hepatik arter varyasyonları klinikte çok sık karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu damarların mide kanseri cerrahisi sırasında yaralanmasındaki başlıca sebep anatominin net bilinmiyor olmasıdır. Böyle bir komplikasyon geliştiğinde ciddi problemlere sebep olabileceğinden preoperatif dönemde varyasyonların bilinmesi yaralanma riskini en aza indirecektir. Bu yazıda mide kanseri nedeniyle cerrahi yapılmış bir hastadaki nadir hepatik arter varyasyonu sunulmuştur
