anatomical variations

Anatomical variations of the median nerve and of the vascular-nervous structures at the wrist

Three cases of anatomical variation of the median nerve at the wrist found during our surgical activity led us to take the opportunity to expose anatomical variations by reviewing already published reviews. Consequently, on the basis of anatomical studies, clinical reports and imaging, as a result of careful examination of the published literature, it has been observed that the interventions in such anatomical area must take into account these variations. In particular, the most performed procedure is the lysis of the transverse carpal ligament (TCL), which is not free from complications.

Aberrant left hepatic arteries arising from left gastric arteries and their clinical importance

Background: The Aberrant Left Hepatic Artery (ALHA) is replaced when it does not originate
from the hepatic artery proper and it is the only supply to that part of the liver, while an
accessory artery coexists with a normal artery. The aim of this systematic review is to
evaluate the incidence of ALHAs including the one arising from the Left Gastric Artery, also
named Hyrtl's artery.
Methods: A literature search in PubMed, SCOPUS,WOS andGoogle Scholarwas performed. The
