ABSTRACT:

Background: Anatomical variations of the hepatic artery are important in the planning and performance of abdominal surgical procedures. Normal hepatic anatomy occurs in approximately 80% of cases, for   the remaining 20% multiple variations have been described

Patients and methods: This is an observational descriptive cross-sectional study Conducted in Dissecting rooms of the faculties of medicine in Sudan during the period from June till December 2017. Seventy Well-dissected cadavers with no disruption of the concerned area were included in the Study

Results: The variations in the hepatic artery were seen in only 4 cadavers (5.7%) ; in two cases (2.85%) an accessory hepatic artery arising from celiac artery was observed and in the other two cadavers (2.85%)there was a replacing hepatic artery that arise from the superior mesenteric artery

Conclusion: Variations in the hepatic arterial system is uncommon in Sudanese cadavers which is matching those reported in the region and are different from those at the international level.

KEY WORDS: Hepatic, hepatic arterial system, Sudanese cadavers, Abdominal surgical procedures.
