Abstract
Anatomical knowledge of the coeliac trunk and its branches is indispensable for surgeons in order to avoid post-surgery complications and malpractice and that’s what inspired us to review this important topic.
The coeliac trunk is the first ventral branch of arising from the abdominal aorta below the aortic opening of diaphragm.
It is responsible for the blood supply of the not only the foregut but also for accessory organs of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) which include liver, pancreas and biliary apparatus [1]. Anatomic variations are often responsible for a variety of clinical conditions and it’s often occurring in the coeliac trunk branches.
