Variants Of Intrahepatic Biliary Radicals in Nepali Population

NCT06793007 | Completed

• Study Type: observational
• Target: 384
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Biliary anatomical variations are commonly observed during diagnostic imaging and, if overlooked, can lead to considerable risks during surgical, endoscopic, or other interventional procedures. In Nepal, where advanced imaging techniques such as MRCP are becoming more accessible, it is crucial to understand the prevalence and types of these variants within the local population. This understanding aids in enhancing pre-surgical planning, minimizing surgical complications, and improving diagnostic precision. By analyzing retrospective data from a private hospital, this study aims to provide important insights into regional anatomical variations, supporting improved clinical outcomes.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients of all gender and age 18 and above

You may qualify if:

• All high quality, diagnostically adequate MRCP scans of patients age \> 18 years done in our department for various indications an no previous hepatobiliary surgery (except cholecystectomy)are included in the study

You may not qualify if:

• Diagnostically inadequate, unclear MRCP scans were excluded from the study. Also, scans of patient \< 18 years, patients with hepatobiliary surgery and pathology distorting normal anatomy were also excluded. Scans with biliary obstruction were also excluded from the study.
